Abstract

The safety of newborns is of the utmost importance; however, conventional identification methods rely on identification bracelets containing basic patient information. This method has several drawbacks, including the risk of the bracelet coming off, becoming damaged, or being incorrectly applied—all of which can lead to misidentification of the infant. This study designed and developed a biometric identification and data storage system for newborns based on an ATMega328P microcontroller with an FPM10A fingerprint sensor. The design and development process included hardware design (FPM10A fingerprint sensor, ATMega328P microcontroller, 20×4 LCD, SD card module) and software development. Infant data (name, date of birth, gender, weight, medical record number, and mother’s name) were entered via a computer interface and stored on an SD card in CSV format. System testing involved 5 subjects with a total of 10 identification trials. The test results showed 8 successful trials and 2 failures (80% success rate, 20% false rejection rate) with an average response time of 2.8 seconds (range 2–4 seconds). Electrical measurements showed the highest error rate of 1.2% in the MT3608 step-up circuit. The developed system successfully integrated the fingerprint registration and infant data storage processes and has the potential to improve the accuracy and security of newborn identification in healthcare facilities.
