Mimo smart Baby monitors reports nighttime activity levels

Digest: Mimo is a connected onesie that monitors a baby’s sleep and feeds the information back to parents using an integrated smartphone app.

Each year in the United States, about 4,000 infants die suddenlyof no obvious cause, many of them in their sleep. Mimo alleviates any fears parents might have by letting them know everything is all right and setting off an alarm when things are not.

How may Mimo help you?

Mimo baby monitor lets you see the things that you actually care about and are already checking.

1. Respiration sensors are the softest and most comfortable sensors around. They let you check that your baby is breathing, no matter what they're doing.
2. Temperature sensor, you can know that you've got your baby dressed properly, and that the A/C is working.
3. The body suit records the motion of your baby so that you can tell how active they are.
4. With medically backed sleep algorithms, know when your baby falls asleep, and how well they're sleeping.

How does it works  

Mimo comes with three organic cotton onesies that act as respiration sensors, a toy turtle clip that monitors movement and a Wi-Fi base station shaped like a lily pad that is fully equipped with a microphone.

Kimono

Mimo’s organic cotton kimono is fitted with non-contact machine washable sensors that measure a baby’s respiration. When paired with the Mimo Turtle, we can monitor your infant’s respiration, skin temperature, body position, and activity level. We send all this data to the Mimo Lilypad Base Station via infant safe Bluetooth Low Energy.

Lilypad & Turtle

 

The Mimo Lilypad connect the Turtle to your home’s WiFi, allowing us to process your baby’s information in real-time using our algorithms. The Lilypad also has a microphone, allowing Mimo to stream your baby’s sounds to your smartphone in real-time.

Smartphone App

 

The Mimo app enables parents to do three things: see their baby’s data in real-time; set alerts to let them know if anything changes; and to view trend and analytics about their baby’s sleep (and more!) over time. The app works for both iPhones and Android devices.
