PAMPERS COMING OUT WITH SMART DIAPERS
Pampers has announced a line of smart diapers that it says will track a child’s urine as well as sleep. The Lumi by Pampers line includes an activity sensor that secures to a place on the front of a baby’s diaper. The sensor works with a corresponding app to log the kid’s pee. When your baby goes, you’ll get a smartphone alert. The app will display one of three diaper statuses: dry, wet, and very wet. The diapers will only track baby’s wee wee. For baby’s bowel movements, you’ll just have to check the old-fashioned way.
* You mean from across the room?
* It’s for the new generation of parents who are on their tablets with earbuds and can’t hear their baby crying. Scary!
* I bet there’s a way to turn baby’s pee alert into some sort of gaming competition among new mothers.
* Will this work on, say, Grandma’s Depends?
* Cool. Prepare the next generation for 24/7 surveillance from day one.
