Growth parameters that parents often pay attention and monitoring for their infants are weight and temperature to determine the health condition of the infant. Parents don't realize that the size of the head circumference reflects the brain volume. The head circumference is an important thing that should always be monitored the growth to see whether the infant's brain grow and develop normally or not. Generally, doctors or midwives use a separate measuring instrument. The use of separate measuring instruments requires considerable time and digital measuring instrument. This study aims to make a tool in one system that consists of three measurement parameters including weight, temperature, and head circumference. The tool can record the parameters automatically. The parameters automatically measure the infant's weight, temperature, and head circumference to determine the condition of the infant. The tool is operated through IoT (internet of things) which can facilitate paramedic to monitor the infant's situation wherever and whenever through internet network that can be accessed via web or Android. The three parameters are controlled directly with the NodeMCU ESP8266 module using two ultrasonic sensors to determine the circumference of the infant's head, the weight sensor using load cell, and the temperature sensor using an SHT31 temperature sensor. It is expected that this tool can help the paramedic work to act quickly because it can monitor the state of the infant online.
