The internet search giant has worked on a product that promises to warn parents before their little one has even woken up. Using video streaming, audio recordings and AI, the device would monitor the baby's behavior against a database of normal patterns. Based on the infant's movements and any noise it makes, it would detect anything out of character and subsequently issue an alert if the baby appears uncomfortable. An alert could be issued before the baby cries or even wakes up, according to the patent, which was first reported by CNBC. The patent filing states: "While a baby's cry may alert his parents to the baby being in distress, sometimes a baby will not audibly indicate his distress.

CNN imageCINCINNATI, Ohio - It's come to this: There's about to be an app for your baby's diaper. The Lumi by Pampers line, which Pampers says has a waitlist ahead of its US launch this fall, includes an activity sensor that secures to a "landing" on the front of a baby's diaper. Parents using the Lumi diapers will in theory not have to worry about checking any of that because they'll get smartphone alerts. "The activity sensor tracks baby's sleep and since it's there on the diaper, it can also track ... if a diaper is wet." Only Lumi by Pampers account holders with their valid credentials will be able to access their baby's data on the Lumi app."
