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.

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.
