# Diaper-Monitoring Devices This High-Tech Diaper Can Measure and Track a Baby's Well-Being By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-06-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hightech-diaper References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2015/06/smart-diaper-diaperpie-intel-iot-roadshow-intel-edison.html) & [sway](https://sway.com/vuDzs_vgtI30mb7O) A Taiwanese team has recently developed a high-tech diaper that is capable of monitoring a baby's temperature, posture and movement. The infant care innovation helps parents to rend to the well-being of their child, without relying on complex medical devices. The machine is called the 'DiaperPie' and it was developed as part of the annual [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maingear-zero) IoT Roadshow. The device works by using Intel’s new computer module to collect data on a child's vital signs. The sensors in the high-tech diaper are connected to an accompanying smartphone app, which uses Bluetooth to send parents information about their baby's well-being. The device is highly sensitive and can record data related to a child's temperature, location, posture and whether or not there is moisture present. While this kind of smart diaper may seem excessive, the device may prove to be a vital safety tool for parents. The posture detection capabilities of the device can help to indicate if a baby has turned their head, which helps parents ensure their baby is breathing properly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Diapers:** The development of high-tech diapers with monitoring capabilities creates opportunities for data-driven baby care. - **Iot in Infant Care:** The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology into infant care products enables remote monitoring and better parent-child communication. - **Vital Sign Tracking:** The ability to track infant vital signs through wearable sensors opens up possibilities for early detection of health issues and improved child safety. ### Where This Applies - **Baby Care Products:** Smart diapers and connected infant care devices contribute to advancements in the baby care products industry. - **Internet of Things (iot):** The IoT industry can explore further innovations by incorporating wearable sensor technology in products aimed at infant monitoring and well-being. - **Healthcare Technology:** The integration of advanced sensors and monitoring capabilities in baby care devices presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the healthcare technology sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Infant Mood-Tracking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ainenne.md) - [Baby-Monitoring Smart Mattresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babysense-cloud-smart-mattress.md) - [AI-Powered Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-smart-baby-monitor.md) - [Baby Decoder Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q-bear.md) - [AI Diaper Care Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mecs.md) - [AI-Powered Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chillax.md) - [Active-Care AI-Powered Cribs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuanbeibei-intelligent-crib.md) - [Baby-Monitoring Smart Crib Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wee-watch.md) - [Sleep-Monitoring Baby Sock Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owlet-dream-duo.md)
