IoT for Kangaroo Care
The mother holding the baby in front of her and nursing it is called kangaroo care in English, or so it says on the Hugsy website.
Hugsy aims to "provide infant equipment with the smell, heartbeat, and cuddling sensation of a mother. It incorporates a module called the "HeartBeat Module," which uses a proprietary algorithm to convert data on the mother's heart rate and rhythm into sensory heartbeats and visible vibrations, with the aim of providing unlimited comfort to the baby.
Uses are home and hospital. It seeks to provide babies with the comfort of being held by their mothers even if they cannot be close by.
Hugsy is now ready to start its MVP and is looking forward to its future development! We look forward to their future development.
