Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system (100) and a method (900) of monitoring health of a user. The system (100) receives multimodal information from one or more sensors (112) and a processor (102-2) retrieves processor-executable instructions and analytical models from a memory (102-4) to analyze physiological, behavioral, and environmental conditions of a user such as an infant, positioned in a cradle. The processor (102-2) performs multimodal event detection, respiratory monitoring, stress estimation, sleep quality assessment, posture assessment, movement pattern characterization, fatigue assessment, and comfort score generation to identify user discomfort. Based on the event, the processor (102-2) generates an event-specific response and transmits control instructions through an actuator interface (108) to an actuator driver (114) for initiating cradle swinging, cradle bouncing, music playback, ambient light control, toy movement, cooling control, insect protection, or two-way communication. Simultaneously, a communication interface (106) transmits alerts to a caregiver device (116).
