Adorable Wearable Tech For Babies Could Turn You Into A Parent Of The Future
It's not Google Baby yet, but it's close.
I don’t have a baby yet, but if and when I do, I imagine I’d be reassured if some of the geniuses from Google and Apple were helping me keep Cox Jr. healthy. Wearable baby tech might sound disconcerting (I may still be traumatized from the electro-shock workout bracelet) but as this ad for the adorably-named Sproutling shows, it could actually be an invaluable asset for new parents.
The Sproutling works by monitoring the internal variables of its wearer such as heart rate and movement, as well as external factors like room temperature or light levels. The device–designed by ex-Apple and Google employees–then sends all that information to your smartphone, which crunches the stats into easily-understandable updates, letting you know if your baby is running a temperature, sleeping on their back, or dreaming sweet, sweet modern-baby dreams.
