Connected Baby Monitor To Launch in April Following Successful Crowdfunding Effort

Evoz raised more than $58,000, some 234 percent of its crowdfunding goal, by Thursday, for development of a smart baby monitor that’s due to launch next month. The Evoz Smart Parenting Monitor ($169), called a “supplement to responsible adult care,” enables parents to watch their baby from a smartphone or tablet, capture a photo or video, play lullabies, control the level of the night light from the unit and talk to their baby. The Smart Parenting Toolbox includes company-provided services that will allow parents to get an email or text when their child cries along with data indicating how long the baby cried and room temperature. The software connects parents to sleep coaches via Kim West, creator of the Gentle Sleep Method, for insight and advice, said the company.
