(Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Masatoshi Tezuka) has released IMS-01, a body motion sensor to watch over babies during sleep, on March 12, 2025. This compact-sized medical device, which is easy to install and use, helps moms and dads who are busy raising their children. It continuously monitors the baby's sleep with two sensors.
Body movement sensors help moms and dads
Many mothers and fathers are worried and cannot take their eyes off their newborns and infants.
In recent years,
Number of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) cases (2023): 48
Choking accidents of 0-year-old children in bed (total for 5 years from 2009 to 2021): 115 cases
is occurring.
The cause of SIDS is unknown, but it is believed that sleeping on your back can reduce the risk of developing the disease.
Choking accidents can be detected earlier by detecting the presence of body movement.
*Body motion sensors do not completely prevent SIDS and choking accidents.
In moments when you have to take your eyes off your baby, such as at night or while doing housework, the "body motion sensor for watching over babies while they sleep" IMS-01 will help you watch over your baby.

Development Background
Itsukushi's body motion sensor was newly developed over a period of more than two years with babies in mind.
Since body movement detection alone is not enough to determine the depression after the patient begins to turn over, a sensor was added for depression detection. By making it a rechargeable type, we have improved the compactness of the system, and the built-in battery eliminates the risk of accidental ingestion. There is no need to prepare or stock dry batteries or special batteries. The diaper is attached to the diaper for easy installation.
Jointly developed by Itsukushi and CONTEC
This is a completely original product jointly developed by two companies: Itsukushi, which is licensed to sell and lend highly controlled medical devices, and CONTEC, a manufacturer of medical devices used in hospitals around the world.

What Itsukushi's Body Movement Sensors Can Do
Mothers have a hard time taking care of their babies 24 hours a day and never have a moment to rest from their constant attention to their babies. Newborns and infants are prone to accidents, but it is difficult to watch them all the time. We help such mothers with our body movement sensor.
We wanted to create a body motion sensor that is compact and can be used anywhere, without the need for batteries. Aiming to create a medical device that is easy to use, but still functions well, we developed a body motion sensor that detects body movement as well as prone positioning, and notifies the user in two stages as a unique function.
We believe that we can help mothers who want to do household chores but are anxious while they are away from their eyes, mothers who are having a hard time sleeping, and mothers who want to be immediately aware of what if anything happens to their babies.

Please note
This product is not a device for the prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or the evaluation of sleep disorder (sleep apnea, etc.) illnesses.
The condition of the baby should not be judged solely on the information of body movements by this product, but should always be checked by a parent, caregiver or nurse. If any abnormality is detected in the infant, call an ambulance immediately or take other necessary measures.
This product incorporates a very sensitive sensor to detect the body movements and positions of the baby during sleep.
Therefore, it may be affected by bed and floor vibrations, equipment emitting strong electromagnetic waves, and medical equipment used in conjunction with it.
If the alarm cannot be detected due to the diaper being removed from the diaper, etc., it may be judged that there is no body movement and an alarm may be triggered. If you live near railroad tracks or other places where there is continuous shaking, the alarm may not go off because the shaking is considered to be body movement. The same goes for sleeping together or sharing a bed.
