Pampers is coming out with a technology alternative to simply pulling back a baby's diaper to see if it's wet. The company calls its smart diaper Lumi by Pampers. The diaper has a sensor that sends information to a mobile app. Pampers says the sensor also will track the baby's sleeping patterns.
The one thing the diaper won’t do is track pooping, but does comes with a baby monitor and a ten-day supply of diapers. There's no word yet on how much smart diapers will cost.
This is the latest in the 'Internet of Things' movement, which finds consumers tracking everything from who's ringing their doorbell, what's in their refrigerator, and how well you're brushing your teeth.
Naturally, critics are concerned about security and privacy with the smart diaper. Our question - was it really that hard to check a diaper before this technology?
