We\u2019ve come a long way since the \u201cRadio Nurse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in 1937, the world\u2019s first electronic baby monitor<\/a> allowed parents to listen in on what was happening in their child\u2019s nursery from another room.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward nearly a century, and it\u2019s not just about listening anymore. A wave of high-tech baby wearables has flooded the market over the past decade, tracking everything from sleep patterns to oxygen levels.<\/p>\n

The booming market for infant health monitors is betting that pediatrics are the next frontier in wearables. Little Canadian<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The pitch is simple: If adults are already obsessed with health trackers<\/a> like the Fitbit or Oura Ring<\/a>, why not bring the same data-driven insights to their babies?<\/p>\n

Take Nanit\u2019s Breathing Wear line<\/a> of swaddles, pajamas, sleeping bags and other baby apparel, which monitors breathing by tracking movement \u2014 and alerts parents via an app if no movement is detected.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the Snuza Hero<\/a>, which clips onto a baby\u2019s diaper during sleep. If it detects no breathing for 15 seconds, it gently vibrates to rouse the baby. If there\u2019s still no movement after 20 seconds, a loud alarm sounds.<\/p>\n

The Sense-U smart baby monitor<\/a> tracks a baby\u2019s abdominal movement, rollover and temperature while sending real-time alerts to a smartphone app, along with vibration and audible alarms when needed.<\/p>\n
