NewsWatch Featured “SafeToSleep”, a Technology Solution to Infant Deaths, on National Television
Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- “SafeToSleep” was featured on NewsWatch as part of its popular segment, Tech Report, that takes a look at the latest and coolest technology products and services on the market. Andrew Tropeano, host of Tech Report, shared with viewers how SafeToSleep can help save the lives of thousands of infants every year.
According to the CDC, every year in the U.S., more than 4,500 infants die suddenly of no obvious cause. A significant portion of these deaths are sleep related where a perfectly healthy baby simply stops breathing in their sleep without warning. Many of them could have been saved if the baby’s breathing was being monitored.
The alarming statics of infant deaths inspired the creation of a baby monitor system and mobile application called SafeToSleep. With the system, a baby sleeps on a mat that uses fiber optics to continuously monitor the infant’s breath rate and look for abnormal breathing patterns. If the baby’s breathing gets too slow, too fast, or stops altogether, the SleepMat sends an alert to the parent’s smartphone telling them something is wrong with their child.
SafeToSleep was clinically tested and verified to be as accurate as the monitors used in hospitals around the world. The accompanying app lets parents stream music or play an audio story recorded in their own voice to their child through the tiny speakers built into the SleepMat. The app also generates reports on the baby’s total sleep time and sleep quality.
