A smart speaker will monitor your baby’s breathing while sleeping with white noise

Engineers at the University of Washington have created a system that allows you to track the breathing and movements of sleeping children with white noise. It uses an intelligent speaker, which, in the event of a child’s awakening, will inform parents or doctors about this, the university said.

Engineers at the University of Washington have created a system that allows you to track the breathing and movements of sleeping children with white noise. It uses an intelligent speaker, which, in the event of a child’s awakening, will inform parents or doctors about this, the university said.

The system uses white noise to monitor the baby’s breathing, similar to how a sonor detects an object. Using a wide range of microphones, the system can track white noise reflected from the child’s body.

Artificial intelligence analyzes the reflected signal and concludes that the child is breathing calmly or his breathing is quickened.

The prototype device, called BreathJunior, during testing in the intensive care unit of the newborn was able to accurately track breathing at a frequency of 20 to 65 breaths per minute.
