Maternity-Tracking Wearables

The 'Bumpe' Keeps an Eye on Infant Health in the Womb

— October 12, 2017 — Tech
The 'Bumpe' is designed with new moms in mind to help them keep an eye on their progress to ensure that they never feel unsure about what's going on. The device works by being placed on the abdomen and continuously tracking outside of a hospital space. This makes it possible for mothers-to-be to feel far more connected to their child and more assured that they are on track if they are unsure about how much movement they should feel, what the baby's heart beat is and more.

The 'Bumpe' is the design work of Agata Gus and is also capable of being used after birth to gather data on how an infant is sleeping and breathing. This comes as a response to the growing number of women looking for technological solutions for tracking during pregnancy.
Trend Themes
1. Maternity-tracking Wearables - The development of wearable medical technology designed for expectant mothers represents a ripe opportunity for businesses to cater to a growing and underserved market.
2. Continuous Monitoring Devices - There is a potential for businesses to innovate and disrupt the medical industry by developing wearable monitoring devices that can track vital health data before and after birth.
3. Smart Clothing for Infant Health Monitoring - Pioneering the development of smart clothing for baby health tracking presents an untapped opportunity for businesses that are looking to make a disruptive impact in the market.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare Technology - Businesses that specialize in developing disruptive healthcare technology and medical equipment, in particular wearable monitors, stand to benefit from the increasing demand for solutions designed for maternal health.
2. Wearable Technology - The development of new wearables, sensors, and other related technologies are poised to be game-changers within the maternal health market, with vast opportunities for businesses to innovate and disrupt.
3. Baby Products - Businesses that focus on the baby product industry can get ahead of the curve by developing smart clothing and accessories geared towards infant health monitoring, thereby offering a differentiated and valuable solution to consumers.
