Automated Diaper Checkers

Monit's New Bluetooth Sensor Helps Parents Check On Infants

— May 1, 2017 — Tech
Monit, a Korean tech startup, has recently released a tool that should help anxious and tired new parents to keep their babies as comfortable as possible. The Monit Bluetooth sensor keeps constant tabs on the state of infants' diapers, giving parents updates without bothering the baby at all.

Keeping infants in clean diapers is important, as moisture can lead to discomfort and even skin irritation. The old-fashioned sniff test is effective, but it's a difficult maneuver to pull off without waking a sleeping baby — and sleep is a new parent's most coveted commodity. The Monit sensor detects a combination of temperature, humidity, and gas to get an accurate reading of diapers without actually having to be in the diaper at all. Simply put it in the crib and forget about it until a diaper change.
Trend Themes
1. Automated Baby Monitoring - Technologies like Monit's Bluetooth sensor that tracks and senses diaper state are leading the way for more complex monitoring solutions.
2. Non-invasive Wearables - Wearable devices that check for vital signs using non-invasive sensors are set to disrupt the baby care market.
3. Smart Parenting - Smart gadgets designed to simplify parenting are becoming increasingly popular and offer opportunities for further innovation.
Industry Implications
1. Baby Care - New technologies like Monit's smart sensor are revolutionizing baby care and creating opportunities for businesses to improve their products and services.
2. Wearable Technology - The wearable technology industry has a chance to expand into the baby care market, offering non-invasive tracking solutions to new parents.
3. Smart Home - Smart home devices designed to make life easier for new parents are an emerging trend and an untapped market with opportunities for disruptive innovations.
