Exmobaby Jammies Let You Monitor Your Baby From Your Cell Phone

With all the horror stories of babies dying from SIDS, sleep apnea, and negligent babysitters, it's no wonder that so many mamas and papas treat their infants like fabergé eggs. Soon, though, the hyper vigilant parents of the world may be able to sleep a little easier, thanks to a new set of pajamas that can monitor a baby's physical and emotional condition around the clock.

Produced by Virginia-based biomedical engineering firm Exmovere, the Exmobaby sleepsuit uses biosensor textiles to monitor a child's heart rate, activity level, and emotional well-being. As Medgadget explains, the high-tech onesie comes with a rechargeable wireless transceiver that snaps into the suit's pouch, and allows doting parents to track their kids' vital signs from their cell phones or computers at all times.

Exmovere will roll out 1,000 sets of PJs in early 2011, as part of a limited-edition marketing campaign. Patrons selected from a waiting list will receive a full Exmobaby kit, including blue or pink pajamas, a wireless transceiver, cell phone and PC monitoring software, as well as six months of online customer service. We're still not completely sold on the Exmobaby's ability to gauge a child's emotional state, but it certainly seems like a great way to remotely keep tabs on your bundle of joy -- or, as the case may be, to avoid him altogether.
