Abstract EN
Excessive noise in neonatal care units and inside incubators can have a number of detrimental effects on an infant's health.
We proposed a novel, audio-integrated approach to achieve active noise control (ANC) for infant incubators.
We also presented the implementation of the robust, nonlinear filtered-X least mean M-estimate algorithm, for reducing impulsive interference in incubators.
The healthcare application is further enhanced by integrating the “womb effect”, that is, by using intrauterine and maternal heart sounds, proven to be beneficial to infant health, for soothing the infant and masking the residual noise.
A computer model for audio-integrated noise cancellation utilizing experimentally measured transfer functions is developed for simulations using real medical equipment noise.
The simulation of the audio integrated ANC system produced optimal results and the system was further validated by real-time experiments to be robust and efficient.
