# Infant-Comforting Apps Samsung's 'Voices for Life' App Comforts Premature Babies in the Hospital By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-05-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voices-for-life References: [androidauthority](http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-voices-life-app-690249/) 'Voices for Life,' a new app that [Samsung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfear-by-samsung) is developing, sends recordings from parents to premature babies who are in the hospital in order to make them feel closer to home. Since premature babies have a higher chance of developing language and attention problems, the Voices for Life app hopes to help counter this issue by allowing parents to communicate with their children. [Parents can communicate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mybabyhelp) by speaking, [reading stories and singing lullabies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lullaby-stories) to their children. It will also be able to record the mothers' heartbeat for the baby to hear. This is intended to comfort the child and allow them to have more contact with their parents than they would otherwise. The app will "wombify" any recorded noises by removing any high-frequency sounds in the recording that would potentially be harmful or uncomfortable for the baby to hear. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 34% | 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) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Infant-comforting Apps:** Opportunity for developing more apps that utilize technology to comfort and support premature babies in hospitals. - **Parent-baby Communication:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for creating communication tools that allow parents to connect with their premature babies and support their early development. - **Medical Technology for Neonatal Care:** Opportunity for integrating advanced medical technology into neonatal care to improve the wellbeing and development of premature babies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Mobile App Development:** Developing mobile apps that cater specifically to the needs of premature babies and their parents in hospitals. - **Healthcare Technology:** Utilizing technology in neonatal care to enhance the comfort, communication, and overall well-being of premature babies. - **Baby Care Products:** Developing innovative products and technologies that address the unique needs of premature babies in hospitals, such as infant-comforting apps. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Sleep Tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-sleep-tracks.md) - [AI-Fuelled Caregiving Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanni-ai.md) - [AI Baby Tracking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-records.md) - [Soothing Baby Sleep Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-napper.md) - [AI Noise Reduction Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfear-by-samsung.md) - [Cry-Detecting Sleep Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gianna-lullume-baby-soother.md) - [Childhood Memory Capturing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-little-one.md) - [Multisensory Car Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensorysoothe.md) - [AI-Driven Baby Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-baby-companion.md)
