New baby sleepwear helps to Prevent Sudden Infant Death

New baby sleepwear helps to Prevent Sudden Infant Death

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) occurs when an infant dies in its sleep for no apparent reason. After years of study, there is no known cause. Now with the help from technology, there's a way for parents to monitor their infants as they sleep. Rest Devices is a company about to sell sleepware for infants for $200 this fall. For your money, you get three organic cotton kimono outfits embedded with sensors, a WiFi-enabled Lilypad, and Bluetooth toy turtle. The kimono and turtle work together to detect movement, respiration, body position, skin temperature, and activity levels while the Lilypad acts as a WiFi base station, complete with a microphone.nce the kit has been set up in the baby's crib, parents can download either a free iPhone or Android application that allows them to view data gathered by Mimo, like the number of times their baby turns over in their sleep, their breathing rate, and so on. The kit also features an alarm function which can activate in the event of an emergency.
