Main characteristics
Mimo is a onesie for babies that includes sensors for monitoring a baby’s respiration, pressure, moisture and temperature. That data is transmitted from the sensors to a base station nearby and ultimately into the cloud, where it can be viewed on any mobile device, as well as shared between parents and caregivers.
Purpose
Mimo can track whether babies are sleeping properly, preventing the rare and tragic situation known as SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

There has been no health issues noted with Mimobaby so far.The kimono is made of soft cotton with respiration sensors pressed to the top of the kimono, keeping anything from touching baby’s skin. However, some general issues connected to wireless electronic devices in general still apply. Question is, whether any electronic devices - which emitting signals - are really safe to put in such close contact with the newborn.
For example specific absorption rate, is a debated issue, especially so in the area of wearable devices, yet proper studies on the harmful effect are inconsistent or even non-existent (especially in case of newborn). Nicméně výrobci používaní technologii, která je v těchto ohledech co nejšetrnější - low-power Bluetooth transmitter.
