Abstract: A monitoring system for detecting the breathing and wetness status of an infant or the like comprises a breathing sensor for monitoring breathing rhythms of the infant; a urinary wetness sensor for detecting urination of the infant; and a processing device. The processing device contains a radio transmission module for sending a radio alarm signal to at least one remote receiver, and a circuit board for receiving and analyzing sensed data from the breathing sensor and the urinary wetness sensor. When sensed data reaches an associated threshold, the circuit board will activate an audible-visual alarm circuit to produce an alarm at the site of the infant and drive the radio transmission module to send out a radio alarm signal to remote receivers.
