Wearables for Babies

Abstract

Wearable technologies for babies are increasing in popularity as physical biosensors are now able to be integrated into a baby’s clothing. These clothes can then be used to both monitor the baby’s critical biological signs such as heart and respiratory rate, blood oxygenation and pressure, core body temperature and position, and can notify parents or other care givers when critical situations occur. This study summarizes the latest developments in wearable technologies used to monitor an infant early development.
