# Baby Bonding Devices The 'Baboo' Allows Parents to Track Their Premature Baby's Movements By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-11-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-bonding References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/10/30/remote-baby-bonding/) Designer Kimmy Ansems created this unique baby bonding device that allows parents and their newborn baby to remain in contact without physically being together. If a baby is born premature and needs to remain in the hospital for a few days, this device will aid the relationship from a remote location. This baby bonding device called '[Baboo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-treats-for-dogs)' allows parents to stay connected to their child. While the baby is building strength and increasing their health within an incubator, this device provides [real-time progress updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuanbeibei-intelligent-crib). Baboo looks like a wooden bowl with a flower pattern on top. When an infant is awake, the petals will show which limbs are active using a light sensor. The device provides real-time feedback and allows parents to feel as though they are physically interacting with their child. This is the "first design to use data visualizations in a 3D object rather than on a screen." The device aims to build the bond between the parent and child regardless of location-based obstacles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Remote Baby Bonding:** Creating technology that allows parents and infants to remain connected from a remote location offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in the healthcare industry. - **Real-time Monitoring:** Developing devices that provide real-time progress updates can disrupt the medical industry by improving patient care and communication between healthcare providers and patients. - **3D Data Visualization:** Incorporating data visualization into 3D objects provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the design and manufacturing industry by offering new opportunities for product design and development. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** The Baboo device and other similar baby bonding technologies offer opportunities for innovative solutions that address the challenges of caring for premature infants and their families. - **Medical Devices:** Developing new devices that provide real-time monitoring and improve the communication between healthcare providers and patients can be a disruptive innovation for the medical device industry. - **Product Design:** Combining data visualization and 3D object design can revolutionize the product design industry by offering new and innovative ways of creating products that are both visually appealing and functional. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Lullaby Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-bond-app.md) - [Design-Conscious Baby Incubators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-incubator.md) - [Infant Mood-Tracking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ainenne.md) - [Dedicated Infant Care Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubtale-care-tracker.md) - [AI-Powered Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-smart-baby-monitor.md) - [AI-Based Baby Wellness Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-wellness-monitor.md) - [Smart Baby Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumi.md) - [Baby Decoder Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-bear.md) - [Toddler Health-Tracking Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/littlebird.md)
