Questions: Sometimes babies are born a little early. When this happens, skin sensors are used to monitor a baby's vital signs, such as temperature, pulse, and breathing rate. The trouble with skin sensors is they attach to the skin and can be uncomfortable. Researchers have developed a new system that doesn't make contact with the baby. Instead, it uses wireless cameras to monitor vital signs. Another issue with skin sensors is they're often inaccurate; a baby's slight movements can set them off. The cameras in the new system are highly sensitive, however. They detect the newborn's pulse by analyzing skin color, which changes slightly with every heartbeat. Even at night, babies need to be monitored. The new system deals with low light by using infrared cameras, which use heat instead of light to create images. Match the problems with their solutions. Skin sensors can be a source of discomfort. Small movements cause false alarms. Newborns must be monitored at night. The new system is contactless. The new system uses skin color to monitor pulse. The new system uses infrared cameras.

The answer is as follows:

  1. Skin sensors can be a source of discomfort. Solution: The new system is contactless.

  2. Small movements cause false alarms. Solution: The new system uses skin color to monitor pulse.

  3. Newborns must be monitored at night. Solution: The new system uses infrared cameras.

Explanation:

  • The problem of skin sensors causing discomfort is addressed by the new system being contactless, which means it does not need to attach to the baby's skin.
  • The issue of small movements causing false alarms is solved by the new system's ability to monitor the pulse through skin color changes, which is less likely to be affected by movements.
  • The necessity to monitor newborns at night is managed by using infrared cameras, which can create images using heat instead of light, making them effective in low-light conditions.
