The Raybaby is a baby monitor different from those before it. It is a non-contact monitor that tracks your child’s breathing and sleep patterns. The makers of Raybaby are currently asking for backers/donations through a campaign on Kickstarter.
What Is Raybaby?
Raybaby is the latest in baby monitoring technology, a non-contact monitor. This device is supported by Johnson & Johnson and HAX as part of the Joint Consumer Health Device Program.
The Raybaby safely monitors your baby’s breathing and other vitals. The respiration tracker was developed along the same technology and principles as ultrasound.
You are notified of variations in your baby’s respirations that may be caused by respiratory illnesses such as asthma or bronchitis. You are also notified if your baby is running a fever.
The sleep tracker monitors how much your baby has slept and notifies you. It also tells you when your baby has rolled over or woken in the night, and it can tell you how much your baby needs to sleep.
Doctors believe this is a critical measure of health because sleep benefits your mood, memory and concentration. It also promotes growth and development, while stimulating the immune system, as well as the nervous system.
This device has been clinically tested and with its FDA approved components, its measurements are comparable to what you would expect to find in a professional sleep study conducted at a hospital or sleep center.
How Does Raybaby Work?
The Raybaby can be placed on a tabletop or mounted to a wall. It utilizes ultra-wideband radar technology and can operate at a distance while accurately measuring the tiniest of movements from a baby’s chest. That is only one of its many features. Here are a few more:
- It notifies you when the baby is running a fever
- It is accurate up to 98.3 percent
- It monitors and tracks your baby’s sleep cycles letting you how much your baby has slept and how much he/she needs to sleep
- It alerts you when your baby rolls over or wakes up in the night
- No lithium batteries are used, and it comes with a built-in power backup which lasts for three hours
- Your WIFI/Bluetooth 4.0, and GSM-voice/SMS remote notification feature allows you to be just a tap away from seeing how your baby is doing
- It creates a journal to use when visiting your pediatrician and discussing your baby’s vital signs, sleep cycles, and overall health
- It looks great and comes in your choice of three primary colors – red, blue, and yellow, and it is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand
Using Raybaby
The Raybaby is easy to use. Simply signup with an account and it begins to search for your wi-fi. Once found, there is a one-time sync up that takes approximately 10-20 seconds to complete.
The home screen displays a variety of information including whether your baby is sleepy or sleeping, or if your baby is wide awake. It also displays your baby’s live respiration rate.
At the bottom of the screen, you are shown live respiration rate and sleep pattern graphs to aid you in developing goals for your baby’s sleep.
The monitor is encased in wood and can be mounted on the wall or placed on a nearby shelf or table up to about 8 feet away from your baby. The video camera allows for an easy change in orientation to assist you in placement.
