Boby - enable bonding between premature infants and their parents

Aleksandra Radlak

Bo.by is an interactive system which enables bonding between premature babies in incubators with parents, in normally impossible situations. A device for parents and a mattress for an infant is connected and collects, sends and receives data such as touch, breast movement, vibration, heartbeat or body heat. Bo.by enables parents and the baby to feel the touch of one another, which offers the possibility to experience a natural, prolonged skin-to-skin bonding.
