Provided are mechanisms and processes for more effectively monitoring infants to enhance caregiving and infant development. In one example, a system includes a platform interface that receives measurement data transmitted from multiple infant monitoring systems. The multiple infant monitoring systems each include an infant monitoring device that gathers measurement data for an infant and an infant monitoring hub that processes the measurement data. The system also includes a platform processor that analyzes the measurement data to identify patterns including a first pattern of activity of infants associated with the multiple infant monitoring systems. The patterns of activity are associated with changes in the measurement data over time. The platform processor generates a model based on the patterns of activity. This model is used to predict an upcoming activity for a first infant that has expressed a first pattern of activity.
