Summary: Royal Philips has launched the Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor, which uses AI-driven SenseIQ technology to track infants’ sleep and breathing in real-time without the need for wearables. The monitor also features Cry Detection and Translation technology to help parents interpret their baby’s needs and includes a secure connection, night vision, and environmental monitoring features. It aims to offer parents peace of mind with both in-home and remote monitoring options.
Three Key Takeaways:
- AI-Driven Tracking: The Philips Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor uses SenseIQ technology to monitor sleep and breathing patterns in real-time, without requiring wearable devices.
- Cry Detection and Translation: AI and machine learning help identify and translate different types of baby cries, notifying parents whether the baby is tired, hungry, or uncomfortable.
- Secure Monitoring: The device offers full HD video, secure encrypted connections, environmental monitoring, and additional features like a sleep diary, night vision, and the ability to remotely communicate with the baby.
Royal Philips, a provider of health technology, announced the launch of the new Philips Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor.
With one in two moms finding it challenging to relax when their baby is sleeping, according to a global research conducted by OnePoll in November 2023, the monitor aims to give parents reassurance with proprietary SenseIQ sleep and breathing tracking and scientifically-proven Cry Detection and Translation technologies.
Comprising a Baby Unit camera, Parent Unit and the Philips Avent Baby Monitor+ mobile app for viewing baby, the Premium Connected Baby Monitor with SenseIQ sleep and breathing tracking technologies analyzes millions of pixels every second. This technology translates the tiny chest motions of a baby’s breathing into sleep status and breathing rate updates—without the need for a wearable accessory.
Scientifically proven Cry Detection and Translation technology uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to interpret babies’ cries. Notifications via the Parent Unit or Philips Avent Baby Monitor+ app let parents know if the baby is tired, gassy, hungry, uncomfortable, or irritated so they can understand the baby’s cues and needs.
The rechargeable Parent Unit, with a five-inch screen and over 400-yard range, ensures a reliable and secure connection with or without Wi-Fi. The Parent Unit has up to 12 hours of runtime, so parents can keep an eye on the baby all day or night long. Whether at home or away from the baby, the free-to-download Philips Avent Baby Monitor+ app provides parents with an instant connection to baby and a window into their wellbeing.
The Baby Unit camera with full HD and night vision gives parents a view of their baby, so they can see even the tiniest of movements.
Safety and Security
The Premium Connected Baby Monitor’s Secure Connect feature ensures a reliable and secure connection to the baby from anywhere, according to a release from the company. The connection is private with multiple encrypted links between the Baby Unit, Parent Unit, and Baby Monitor+ app, protecting data and imagery.
With a two-in-one mount included, the Baby Unit attaches securely to the crib or the wall, keeping the Baby Unit in place and the cords away from the baby. The Baby Unit’s room thermometer and built-in nightlight provide assurance to caregivers of the environment in baby’s room. If the room becomes too warm or cold, parents receive personalized notifications via the Parent Unit or Baby Monitor+ app.
A Window into Baby’s Wellbeing
The Philips Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor’s Automated Sleep Diary (part of the Baby Monitor+ app) logs baby’s sleep, generating insights that can help caregivers better understand baby’s sleep states and wake windows.
With historical sleep statistics from the past 30 days visualized in handy graphs, parents will be in the know about sleep regressions and other changes to their baby’s sleep schedule. With the True Talk Back feature, parents can speak to and hear their baby at once, helping to soothe and comfort their baby without having to enter the room. Parents can comfort their baby with tranquil tracks, natural soothing sounds, or white noise—from garden birdsong to classic lullabies to parents’ own voice recordings.
“Philips Avent offers innovative solutions to support moms and empower them and their village to Share the Care,” says Brenda Kapner, marketing director of mother and childcare at Philips, in a release. “Equipped with Cry Detection and Translation technologies along with Philips proprietary SenseIQ, our Premium Connected Baby Monitor offers updates on baby’s sleep, breathing, and well-being, giving parents the freedom to take time for themselves while sharing the care with reassurance.”
