Baby Movement-Tracking Wearables

The 'Rubi' Pregnancy Monitor Keeps Mothers Further Informed

— May 15, 2018 — Lifestyle
The 'Rubi' pregnancy monitor is an advanced piece of technology for mothers-to-be to provide them with a new way to stay further informed of the health of their child.

The device works by being worn by expecting mothers around their belly and constantly tracking for fetal movements using the integrated ultrasonic technology. This information is then relayed to the mother's smartphone to let them track all of their baby's actions throughout the day to ensure they are developing well.

The 'Rubi' pregnancy monitor acknowledges the increased need for connected solutions for parents as they seek out ways to further track the health of their child even before they're born. The device comes in two options including the Active Tape and Maternity Band varieties to suit different lifestyles or preferences.
Trend Themes
1. Baby Movement-tracking Wearables - New technology for moms-to-be that tracks their baby's movements provides an opportunity for the wearables industry to create more advanced monitoring devices.
2. Connected Pregnancy Monitors - The rise in demand for connected pregnancy monitors presents an opportunity for tech companies to innovate and create more sophisticated health tracking devices for expecting mothers.
3. Pre-birth Tracking Technology - The trend of using technology to track a baby's movements before they're born suggests an opportunity for health tech companies to develop more devices and software to monitor fetal development.
Industry Implications
1. Wearables - The advancement of baby movement-tracking wearables presents an opportunity for wearables companies to expand into the pregnancy and parental monitoring market.
2. Health Tech - Connected pregnancy monitors show potential for health tech companies to create more advanced medical devices that can track fetal development and ensure pre-birth health.
3. Parental Monitoring - The market for connected pregnancy monitors presents an opportunity for businesses to create more advanced solutions for parental monitoring, allowing parents to track their child's health and growth from the earliest stages of development.
