Father invents device to detect babies’ vital signs

Shared by Ana Duarte on 2015-10-08 14:21

About the solution

The student decided to create this device after he lost his daughter Eleanore to sudden infant death syndrome, when she was a month old. At the time, there was no device on the market that could be detecting a baby’s vital signals. That’s what inspired Peter, who adapted a guitar sensor to build the Ella’s Monitor, which was launched in 2012.

The tiny sensor is worn by a baby and detects all vital signs. The sensor will link to a cell phone or computer as an app and alert parents when the baby is not OK.

"In this day and age when I have so much access to so much incredible technology, I really find it kind of inexcusable that we do not have a sensor that can prevent this from happening," Seymour said.

"And while it's a sad thing for me, it's something that I am trying to make a good," Seymour said. "It's something that has a positive impact not only in my life but on the world."

The device is supposed to cost anywhere from $25 to $50.
