Intelligent Systems to Supporting Premature Babies Healthcare with Mobile Devices

Recent studies show that premature babies who need a supervision period can shorten this time if they are in a familiar environment. However, complications might arise at any time. This work proposes an approach to monitor babies at home. In this approach, baby sensors send data to a mobile device implementing an intelligent system that provides recommendations and supports the parents in the baby care. The system is composed by a rule-based system and a case-based system, using the knowledge provided by physicians and historical data. In the last step the assessments derived from the application are always contrasted by the medical staff. An illustrative example argues for the need to use systems able to personalize the physician's knowledge, rather than using simple rules that they cannot generalize it.
