Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing data for an automated baby cry assessment is suggested, comprising the steps of acoustically monitoring a baby and providing a corresponding stream of sound data, detecting a cry in the stream of sound data, selecting cry related data from the sound data in response to the detection of a cry, determining personal baby data for a personalized cry assessment, preparing an assessment stage for assessment according to personal baby data, and feeding cry related data into the cry assessment stage prepared according to personal baby data. Furthermore, an automated baby cry assessment arrangement is suggested.
