We've all been waiting for it: Pampers announces the connected nappy
It may seem like a joke, but it's actually true: Pampers is introducing a connected nappy. Or to be more precise, a monitoring kit for parents.
Lumi from Pampers is the world's first networked care system for parents. Or at least that's how the company is presenting its latest invention. The Lumi smart nappy is supposed to be there for parents to monitor their babies 24 hours a day. The system includes a moisture and movement sensor for the nappies, an app and a Full HD baby camera.
At least the whole thing is designed so that the smart part of the layer is reusable - e-waste traders will be delighted. The sensor is attached to the front of the nappy. From there, it can measure the child's movements and the moisture content of the nappy. This data can then be displayed in the application. Clearly, you never notice when your baby moves or when his nappy is full.
Of course, thanks to the Full HD camera you can see everything via the Pampers app. The camera is equipped with a night vision function and two-way audio, and is also part of the Lumi pack.
The system is currently only available in the US. And there's already a waiting list.
