Health Care Trends With a Social Media Twist

Will This Onesie be Your Next Gift for the Baby Shower?

Technology is constantly evolving and for new parents, this device from startup Rest Devices is sure to keep you at ease. Rest Devices has developed a onesie (3 in a pack) embedded with sensors that monitors a baby’s temperature, movement and breathing. This device is the perfect solution for new parents who are constantly worried about their infant and want to know how their baby is doing at all times. That’s what makes this product so cool.

How does this onesie work you ask? The stretchy green bands on the onesie collects information about the infant’s respiratory rate, temperature and movement and sends alerts to a mobile phone or website allowing parents to monitor and assess for trends.

While the idea is great – babies grow quickly and may outgrow the onesie before parents can get ample use. What do you think? Would you buy this gift for yourself (if pregnant) or an expectant mother?
