The Basics
Designed for Newborns and their Caregivers
01
Gentle Up & Down
Moving up and down less than half the diameter of a human hair it's sometimes difficult to know if our gentle stimulation is turned "on."
03
Sleep Cycle Friendly
Sleep studies confirmed our movement is below the threshold of arousal that causes infants to wake.
02
"Nature's Speed"
The speed of our stimulation was selected to optimize how the brain processes signals it sends and receives to control breathing rhythm.
04
Safely Powered
The tiny random movements of our device require less than 5 volts of electricity. That's so low it can not cause a shock.
