Nanit has introduced the world’s first-ever smart textile system that could help parents to measure baby’s height and growth regularly. Measuring a wiggly baby with a ruler or tape can be difficult, and often inaccurate. With Smart Sheets and Nanit’s award-winning HD nursery cameras, parents can now easily track and monitor their baby’s height and growth progress. Parents simply lay their baby or toddler down on a Smart Sheet in the crib and let Nanit do the work. Parents use the in-app tools to mark the key measurement points on the baby, then Nanit’s advanced computer vision processes the baby’s height based on its calibration against the proprietary pattern printed on the Smart Sheet.
Nanit is an American technology start-up company that develops baby monitor devices connected through its mobile application. The camera captures the video recording of the child and analyzes the footage and shares insights based on the movement of the baby. Nanit was founded by Tor Ivry, Andrew Berman and Dr. Assaf Glazer. Sarah McCollum Dorsett, previously an executive at Bed Bath & Beyond, Century 21, and Bloomingdales.com, has served as Nanit’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) since 2019. The company is headquartered in New York City and received $6.6 million seed funding round in June 2016.
Dr. Natalie Barnett, director of Clinical Research at Nanit, said, “Tracking a baby’s height is an important and helpful way to understand their development in between doctor’s visits. This can help provide parents and caregivers with a complete picture of their overall well-being when combined with Nanit’s ability to monitor sleep and breathing motion.”
Sarah Dorsett, the CEO of Nanit, said, “Nanit was designed to help parents learn about their baby and support their journey during the first few years of a child’s development. We are excited to expand our offering with the introduction of Smart Sheets and to provide an incredible, safe new way for parents to easily stay connected to their child’s health and well-being.”
