AI may know your baby better than you do. At least, that is what tech start-up Cappella aims to achieve with an app that turns your phone into a baby monitoring device.
The app predicts what the baby wants by taking into account how loudly the child is crying, the time of day and the baby’s eating patterns, among other cues.
The technology aims to give parents peace of mind and is 95 per cent accurate, according to Cappella. Its algorithms are drawn from 1,500 babies studied in hospitals and 8,000 samples of crying, said its spokeswoman.
Elsewhere in baby tech, AI is also used in autonomous strollers to allow parents to walk freely, only requiring them to steer. Developed by Gluxkind, the stroller adapts its speed to stay within an arm’s length and slows itself down on slopes.
