this week , mondevices announced an exciting development ! monbaby breathing and rollover monitor will . . .
the mondevices team had a wonderful time taking part in the 2016 new york baby show at pier 92 in new . . .
with a ba in economics and a jd / mba , eugene joined the mondevices team in 2015 bringing with him solid experience with an emphasis on legal , financial , hr , administrative and managerial functions .
wearable technology company mondevices created a device that will put worried parent ' s minds at rest . called monbaby , this baby monitor tracks the baby ' s breathing , sleep pattern and activity , while sending alerts to parents on their smartphones .
by allowing parents to easily and immediately track their baby ' s sleeping patterns , mondevices is contributing to the safe to sleep public education campaign lead by the eunice kennedy shriver national institute of child health , which aims to decrease infant deaths .
mondevices ' product is well designed . it snaps onto your kid ' s clothing and connects to your phone via bluetooth . monbaby ' s measurements are pretty reliable , but because they all depend on motion - sensing , they can be inaccurate if used with
accessing the information on the app is quick and easy . you can personalize when you receive notifications and also track your child ' s activity levels over time on the android app ( this feature is coming for the ios version within a few months , according to mondevices ) .
earlier this year , mondevices won the wearable technology prize in the smart clothing category at the 2014 innovation world cup in munich , germany . the company is currently running a kickstarter campaign for monbaby , hoping to raise $ 15 , 000 for the production of its first round of devices .
the top 10 competitors in kiddowear ' s competitive set are mondevices , omate , nabi , martian , i ' m watch , designer watches online , flex watches , echo labs , modify watches and coros wearables . together they have raised over 2 . 6m between their estimated 495 employees .
“when my first son was born , i suffered from increased anxiety , ” said vaitaitis , mondevices ‘s ( the company behind monbaby ) founder and cto . “i couldn’t sleep . i would wake up at all hours of the night to check on him , and would end up waking him up in the process . i had to come up with a solution . ”
kiddowear is a developer of wearable devices for children that helps to track the temperature , perspiration , heart rate and fat percentage . kiddowear ' s headquarters is in san francisco , california . kiddowear has a revenue of $ 1m , and 22 employees . kiddowear ' s main competitors are mondevices , omate and nabi . as of may 2018 , kiddowear has 5 . 8k fans on facebook and 245 followers on twitter .
traditional baby monitors enable parents to hear their child crying so that they can rush over to sooth them . while baby monitors allow parents to hear the sound that lets them know when their infant is wet or hungry , they aren ' t smart enough to alert moms and dads when the baby rolls over on their stomach , or if their breathing suddenly changes .
it ' s wearable product that can be attached to any article of baby clothing ,
jane vorohovixh , monbaby marketing director , told tech times .
the wearable baby monitor comes with two parts : a shell and a button . the shell is placed underneath the baby ' s clothing , and then the button is snapped on top . this design allows parents to attach the device to any piece of clothing , not matter how big the baby grows .
the button is equipped with a mems 14bit accelerometer to detect even the smallest movements . monbaby contains a 3v coin - cell battery , so with a battery life up to two months , you don ' t have to recharge it every day .
download the accompanying app , which tracks all measurements in real - time , and sends alters via bluetooth low energy to the app available for both iphone and android . the device has an arena range of up to 60 feet .
risk factors are displayed on the dashboard in the app . parents can customize the app to fit their and their baby ' s needs , such as being notified in real - time when a newborn rolls over , or when a toddler falls .
they also can see the baby ' s sleep position directly on the smartphone app , so they know whether the baby is on their back or stomach . that means parents no longer have to leave bed in the middle of the night multiple times when paranoia sets in . simply look at the app to see that your baby is sleeping safely .
the app tracks the baby ' s sleeping pattern , alerting parents if the baby stops breathing for 15 seconds or more .

i’m not a parent , but i can certainly imagine that if and when i do become one ( spoiler : i will become one someday ) that i will likely spend every waking minute of my life concerned about the well - being of my children . especially when kids are younger , it’s understandable for parents to worry about them constantly . for monbaby inventor arturas vaitaitis , it’s this same concern for his children that motivated him to create the smart button baby monitor .
is more affordable than the other options that are already out there , ” said cco daniel klaynberg .

the kapture audio - recording wristband device is an example of a growing trend of wearable technology . kapture ceo mike sarow shows off the wristband , which allows users to record the previous 60 seconds of audio at a time .
when mike sarow quit his day job to become an entrepreneur , he had no idea the invention he helped create would cause some to liken him to the surveillance - happy national security agency .
there were a lot of knee - jerk reactions ,
said sarow , 38 , who lives in downtown cincinnati .
i heard , ' you ' re the nsa ' s ugly stepchild ! ' we definitely didn ' t do something benign . we did something provocative .
it ' s a sentiment shared by developers of a lot of wearable devices , of which there are dozens and counting : fitness trackers keep tabs on how active you are , recording devices – like sarow ' s audio - collecting kapture – chronicle your daily interactions , sleep monitors gauge when you ' re catching your best shuteye .
wearables are in huge demand : research firm markets and markets predicts the industry will grow to $ 11 . 61 billion by the end of 2020 . but as the technology becomes more ubiquitous , security experts say the companies creating these products can ' t always ensure the data collected won ' t end up in unintended hands , or be used for unauthorized purposes .
we have really reached an inflection point in 2015 ,
said adam towvim , president , ceo and co - founder of trustlayers inc . , a massachusetts - based security company .
even if someone ' s data stays properly secured inside of someone ' s four walls , the risk of misuse of data is as great as data leakage .
symantec corp . , a tech security company headquartered in california , recently analyzed a variety of wearables and found that all hardware - based devices it examined were 100 percent trackable . one in five tracking apps also transmitted user - generated data , such as names , email addresses and passwords , without encryption .
- - identity theft . fraudsters could use data to better fake official documents , set up false bank accounts or file fraudulent tax returns .
- - profiling . details given by users could provide organizations data used to discriminate against certain groups or minorities .
- - stalking . some wearables contain location - based personally identifiable information , allowing outsiders who gain access to see where you are in real time . burglars also could use that info to target your home when you ' re away .
- - extortion . health - monitoring devices are among the hottest new wearables , capable of tracking blood glucose in diabetics , measuring heart rates and mapping sleeping habits . some invite users to also self - track their moods , their toilet use and their sexual activity , and none of the info is protected by the federal health insurance portability and accountability act ( hipaa ) the way that info you share with your doctor is .
- - misuse . while some businesses are encouraging use of activity trackers such as thefitbit to improve workers ' health , some employees balk , saying that their bosses could use the data to inappropriately track their productivity and even target them for firing .
and those are just the risks we know about today , experts warned .
in the future , who knows what is possible ,
said arturas vaitaitis , creator of monbaby , the first - ever button monitor for newborns . his device will track your baby ' s breathing rate , movement and sleep positions , transmitting vital signs and alerts to your smartphone via bluetooth .
it ' s like when electricity came out , people were warned that it could be dangerous , it could kill people ,
vaitaitis said .
there will be positives and negatives ( with wearables ) , and people will weigh their privacy against value .
big data is such big business that last year , the federal trade commission urged lawmakers to push for transparency and accountability among so - called data brokers – entities that buy and sell information about people , often without consumers ' knowledge .
marketers can use the data collected to tailor ads to users : for example , a fitness buff using an activity tracker might get a targeted ad for new running shoes , or a pharmaceutical company might try to buy information to help find people likely to buy sleeping or weight - loss aids .
fitbit has a range of fitness offerings . from left : zip , one , flex , charge , aria scale , chargehr , surge . newest to the lineup are the $ 130 charge , out now , and the $ 150 charge hr and $ 250 surge , both coming in 2015 .
the $ 199 microsoft band is a fitness tracker that also checks your email and even pays for coffee . it ' s out now and works across multiple mobile platforms .
misfit ' s new $ 49 flash . it is water resistant to 30 meters and has an internal battery that can last as long as a year .
the new $ 199 peak band from basis is a sophisticated fitness tracker that soon will add some smartwatch functionality .
the fitbit charge is the first out of fitbit ' s new bands . it adds an lcd screen that lets you read the time and get notifications .
startup pivotal living is offering its pivotal tracker 1 band for just $ 12 with a subscription to its app for android and ios devices .
the microsoft band , left , and microsoft health app . microsoft is looking to challenge apple and google with its own system for consolidating health and fitness data from various fitness gadgets and mobile apps .
candid wueest , symantec ' s threat researcher based in switzerland , said that such concerns might seem outlandish , but they ' re not . just as burglars have used social media posts to target vulnerable homes , they could easily shift focus to so - called quantified - self data .
the main concern should be around the lack of privacy with such devices ,
wueest said wednesday .
the issue of stalkers using this information might only concern a smaller group of people , but for them it can be really tragic .
sarow faces a different set of privacy questions . he co - created kapture audio , which constantly records and buffers the latest 60 seconds of sound surrounding its wearer and stores those minute - long snippets when the wearer double - taps it .
the cincinnati startup made headlines when its 2013 fundraising campaign on the crowdsourcing site kickstarter raised more than $ 160 , 000 . so far , kapture has pre - sold 2 , 000 devices , delivery of which are expected to begin next month .
we ' re the exact opposite of the nsa ,
sarow said .
the nsa records everything and saves it on the off - chance they might need to extract something later .
kapture , on the other hand , is curated by the wearer , because while the device buffers everything , it only saves 60 seconds of sound , and only when the wearer instructs it to .
sarow said that he and co - creator matthew dooley didn ' t design the device to be surreptitious . they encourage users to tell people around them what the device is , even though most states legally have
one - party consent
laws , meaning that only one person in a conversation needs to know that it ' s being recorded .
the saved sound bytes are stored in a cloud server maintained by kapture . the company is doing its best to ensure safe storage , but sarow acknowledged that nothing is 100 percent secure .
if the cia can be breached , i ' m sure kapture can be breached ,
he said .
hagai bar - el , chief technology officer for california - based sansa security , said the data collected by wearables is only as protected as the network that holds it – and it ' s likely to be stored indefinitely .
the trend today , given the ever - decreasing cost of storage , is to store data forever ,
he said in an email to the enquirer .
a cio will prefer to pay a bit more for a little more disk space than risk his job and company prosperity by deciding to discard data that is one day determined to have been useful .
while sarow endured some big brother - inspired jabs , a lot of consumers aren ' t yet demanding that the data collected by their wearables be heavily protected .
the symantec analysis found that 52 percent of the self - tracking applications they weighed didn ' t make public any privacy policies . that means users weren ' t told who was collecting the data , what was being collected , how it would be used , how long it would be kept and whether the data would be shared with outside parties .
fitbit , a key - sized computer that clips to your shirt , tracks your activity and sleep patterns and automatically sends updates to your computer .
jenna wolf , 25 , who lives in downtown cincinnati , got a fitbit to monitor her activity levels for her birthday last july . she didn ' t think much about what would happen to her data once collected , and seven months later , she ' s still not worried about it .
personally , i am not concerned about my whereabouts being tracked ,
she said .
i feel like phones and other devices can do the same thing .
it ' s a sentiment shared by a lot of millennials , according to a study by the university of southern california ' s annenberg center for the digital future and bovitz inc . , which found that people ages 18 to 34 don ' t have much expectation of privacy .
that ' s not to say they don ' t value it : another study , by contagious communications and flamingo , found that millennials view their privacy as a commodity , and that they ' re more likely than other generations to boycott companies they feel have violated their trust . in other words , if you ' re collecting their information , you ' d better give them something they value in return .
so what ' s someone ' s privacy worth ? towvim , the trustlayers ceo , predicts that 2015 will be the year we learn the limits .
this is going to be the year of privacy by disaster ,
he said .
instead of everything being designed properly , it ' s going to be the year where we see quantified - self data leak , and that ' s when the data - gathering companies are going to realize they need to care for the misuse of the data they collect at the same scale that they analyze the data .
wearable baby monitors certainly appear an emerging trend , with recent efforts including a bodysuit packed with sensors and a smart sock to track your baby ' s vital signs . taking yet another approach is us - based inventor arturas vaitaitis , whose monbaby smart button can be attached to any item of clothing to monitor and provide analysis of your baby ' s sleeping patterns .
looking like a large button , the device features a built - in mems 140 - bit accelerometer to track motion , the baby ' s orientation , activity levels and breathing . these measurements are recorded five times per second and then relayed via bluetooth 4 . 0 to a smartphone companion smartphone app .
the smartphone app then displays information in real - time , such as whether your baby is sleeping on its stomach or back , whether there is tossing and turning , or if it is about to wake up . alerts can also be set through the app to pertain to particular conditions , for example , if your baby rolls over to lie on its stomach .
further to the real - time tracking of sleep , monbaby stores the collected data in the cloud , which the user can then access via a website to gain insights into broader sleep patterns and share the analysis with family or their doctor .
monbaby has a bluetooth range of 200 ft ( 61 m ) and is powered by a 3 - volt coin - cell battery , which the company says should be good for five weeks of constant , real - time monitoring or one year in passive mode .
vaitaitis has turned to kickstarter to raise funds for monbaby where a pledge of us $ 79 will put you in line for the device along with the smartphone app . the app is currently only available for iphone , but if the campaign reaches $ 100 , 000 , the team will develop an android version . shipping is estimated for october 2014 .

while you definitely must consider what’s best for you and your little one , there are some things you can do before and during the trip that can make traveling while pregnant more enjoyable .
i’m really bummed about this item . it was awesome for the first few days . now i can’t take my phone more than a few feet away from the monitor or it loses connection
n within a two feet of the monitor . that defeats the purpose if i’m right next to the baby . i’ve emailed their customer support multiple times via the app but haven’t gotten a reply . i should have gone with a more expensive and notable brand , maybe then it would work . a hundred dollar item that’s essentiall
y worthless and no one working for the company will help with any trouble shooting .
just a couple of days after we brought our son home from the hospital , he had a choking got in his sleep to the point that his cheeks turned slightly blue and we had to take him to the er . despite the
was fine and it was likely due to him still having fluid , as he was a c - section baby , we still wanted something that could help us feel better about his safety while he sleeps . granted , this was a one time episode and he has been perfectly fine since , we have still relied on the monbaby to help us sleep at night because we know it will alert us of anything is wrong . not only does this device monitor breathing ,
n ( back , side , or tummy ) , which we found useful as new parents because he insisted on sleeping on his side , so we would know if he somehow rolled further onto his stomach . overall , this has been one of the best purchases we ' ve made since becoming parents because you can ' t put a price on peace of mind and restful sleep when you ' re caring for an infant !
it ' s possible to select which areas are monitored and which alerts you want to receive - i . e . breathing ,
with the monbridge app as well as the monbaby app to extend the range of the monitor .
see our new video ! monbaby is the baby monitor in a form of a button and the mobile app with smart alerts . breathing movements , body position ( on the back or on the stomach ) , fall detection , proximity removal – choose only the alerts you want to receive ! urltoken

monbaby is easy to use , and its design cleverly makes clipping it to baby ' s clothing easier than comparable devices . the android app ' s ability to track sleep patterns over time is a cool addition .
its reliance on motion detection means monbaby ' s performance isn ' t perfect . plus , you can ' t use it with a sleeper or rocker that would register movement even if the child has stopped breathing .
monbaby is a useful gadget , but like other devices of its type , its features can ' t replace traditional monitors or quite justify its $ 170 price tag .
at $ 170 , monbaby is a little more affordable than some of its competitors , but it certainly isn ' t cheap . and it falls into the same trap as other devices like it : it can ' t replace traditional monitors , and its added smarts won ' t justify the price for many parents . monbaby is nice to have around , but not necessary for most kids .
