Smart Sock Baby Monitors

Parents Stay Informed on Infant Vitals with this Owlet Baby Care Monitor

— September 1, 2013 — Tech
The Owlet baby monitor keeps parents connected by measuring infant vitals by using a bootie and mobile app. The monitor sends heart rate, oxygen levels, body temperature, sleep quality and roll over alerts to the parent's smartphone.

The Salt Lake City-based baby care company created the world's first 'smart sock' for babies, in an effort to make parenting easier. Founder and CEO Kurt Workman explains, "Every parent knows what it’s like to lay in bed and stress about whether your child is breathing."

The infant vitals tracker gives you peace of mind and alerts you of your child's well-being not just when they are sleeping, but also when you are away. For first time parents feeling nervous about leaving their baby behind with a sitter, the remote access will help put them at ease.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Sock Baby Monitors - The trend of wearable technology for infants has the potential to revolutionize the baby care industry, creating opportunities for the development of more intelligent and convenient baby care products.
2. Remote Infant Vitals Monitoring - The trend of remote infant vitals monitoring through smart devices and mobile apps provides an opportunity for healthcare providers to offer advanced and personalized healthcare services for infants.
3. Connectivity and Peace of Mind - The trend of connected baby care devices, such as smart sock baby monitors, has the potential to disrupt the traditional baby care industry by offering parents increased peace of mind and convenience.

3. Baby Care Products - The baby care product industry has the opportunity to innovate by incorporating smart technology and connectivity into baby care products, creating more intelligent, convenient and safe products for parents and infants alike.
