Sproutling Baby Monitor and iOS app interface (via Sprouting Baby)
Sproutling recently launched its pre-order campaign for what it calls the “world’s smartest baby monitor,” which learns the natural habits of a child and lets parents know when they can relax or need to tend to the baby. Maybe Sproutling should also call it the nanny robot.
Sproutling has been working on raising funds for the campaign since last year and after securing $2.7 million in investments, the design team got to work to create something sensational.
Sproutling claims its Baby Monitor is the smartest in the world because it “learns” the habits and tendencies of a particular child. The device will track the sleeping patterns, feeding habits and environment of a child and create predictions for when he or she should be hungry based on his or her normal schedule and preferences.
Sproutling’s Baby Monitor, like other “smart” baby monitors, also keeps track of a child’s health vitals. Unlike other monitors, however, Sproutling’s Baby Monitor will “learn” a child’s normal vital range and only notify parents if heart rate, respiration and other vitals are outside of what’s considered “normal” for their child.
Another cool feature of the “smartest” baby monitor is that it gives parents real-time updates on the status of their child. The app will predict how many minutes mom has until her baby wakes up and also predicts the mood in which she will be. If something is wrong, dad will receive a push notification via his iOS app. More than anything, it helps parents rest easy that their child is safe and sound.
The monitor is secured with a strap around baby’s leg. The monitor itself is designed to be choke-resistant and the strap fits children of various ages and sizes. The wearable is also made of medical-grade silicone and is both hypoallergenic and safe to wash in the washing machine. The smart device charges wirelessly and the charger doubles as an environmental sensor. The device also knows if it has fallen off of baby.
Sproutlings Baby Monitor will retail for $250 until pre-orders have been filled, and then will retail for $299 – a small price to pay for peace of mind and a vote of confidence that says you can hit the snooze button at least two more times before baby wakes up. Thank God for technology.
