# Duty-Delegating Baby Monitors This Silent Baby Monitor System Consists of Vibrating Wearables By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-05-13 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-baby-monitor References: [techcrunch](http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/07/naptime-baby-monitor-saves-parents-from-late-night-arguments/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005352226228&_rdr) The first of its kind, this silent baby monitor is designed to help parents from having late-night fights. The [NapTime](http://www.naptime.technology/) system uses two vibrating Bluetooth-connected bracelets to rotate duties throughout the night. Developed with sleep deprived parents in mind, the wearable device will only vibrate for the person whose turn it is, allowing him or her to take care of the newborn without waking the other parent. A smartphone with the [NapTime app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-napper) or a camera can also monitor the infant. The app knows when the [baby is crying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starling-natural-heritage) and will send a notification, alerting the right parent. If bracelets come off, the silent baby monitor system can tell and will either let the other parent know, or if both are off it will call the parents' phones. This is ideal if new parents are so sleepy they fall asleep without their wristbands. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/babies) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Silent Baby Monitors:** Opportunity to develop silent baby monitor systems that utilize wearable technology to assist sleep-deprived parents. - **Vibrating Wearables:** Potential for vibrating wearable devices to be used in various applications beyond baby monitoring, such as fitness tracking or medication reminders. - **Smartphone-connected Monitoring:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for smartphone-connected monitoring systems that provide real-time updates and notifications for parents. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Parenting:** New opportunities for innovative products and services in the parenting industry, specifically in the realm of baby monitoring and sleep solutions. - **Wearable Technology:** Growing demand for wearable technology in multiple industries, including the healthcare, fitness, and parenting sectors. - **Mobile Applications:** Mobile app development can be leveraged to create monitoring and notification systems for various purposes, such as baby monitoring or home security. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Silent Wake-Up Wristbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wakeband.md) - [AI Baby Sleep Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/necoron.md) - [AI-Powered Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-smart-baby-monitor.md) - [Modern Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ainanny-baby-monitor.md) - [Cry-Detecting Sleep Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gianna-lullume-baby-soother.md) - [Silent Wearable Alarm Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silentwakeup.md) - [Advanced Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-connected-baby-monitor.md) - [Schedule-Predicting Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owlet-cam-2.md) - [Advanced Baby Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-baby-monitor.md)
