According to some aspects, a system configured to facilitate imaging an infant using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device is provided herein. The system comprises an infant-carrying apparatus comprising an infant support configured to support the infant and an isolette for positioning the infant relative to the MRI device, the isolette comprising: a base for supporting the infant-carrying apparatus; and a bottom surface configured to be coupled to the MRI device. In some embodiments, the infant-carrying apparatus further comprises at least one radio frequency (RF) coil coupled to the infant support and configured to be coupled to the MRI device to detect MR signals during imaging performed by the MRI device. A method for positioning an infant relative to an MRI device using an infant-carrying apparatus and isolette is further provided herein.

A sleep monitor for monitoring baby sleep uses sleep state classification based on heartbeat feature respiration features. The sleep monitor automatically retrains the classification during use of the sleep monitor. Training examples for use in this training process are generated automatically by detecting time instants whereat the baby in the bed is in a wake state, based on signals from the at least one of a sound feature detector a movement feature detector (112) and an open eye detector (114). The retraining may comprise using time sequence from the end of detection of wake states to assign a class to heartbeat feature and/or respiration feature values during that time sequence for the training process. In an embodiment, the retraining comprises clustering detected heartbeat feature and/or respiration feature values detected outside the detected wake states.

A diaper with urine detection functionalities is provided. The diaper includes a urine isolation layer, an absorbent core layer, and an outer layer. A urine detection device is disposed between the urine isolation layer and the absorbent core layer. The isolation layer has an open end that is embedded in a sleeve of the absorbent core layer. The urine detection device comprises a detection circuit and a test paper composite. The test paper composite includes: a trace element test paper, an antibiotic test paper, and a urine routine test paper. Each test paper is made up of a plurality of test strips for detecting different elements. Each test strip produces results according to a different color indicator scheme.
