LittleOne.Care is developing an artificial intelligence product that continuously monitors infants’ actions so that emergencies and developmental failures can be identified in advance and diagnosis and treatment can be offered at early and critical stages. The monitoring is done using a small device attached to the child’s clothing, already after birth, without radiation and without transmission and accompanies him around the clock without interfering with his daily routine.
The device, based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, picks up the baby’s sounds, sounds and movements, analyzes them and offers conclusions about what happened in the baby’s life during the day. He builds an emotional diary of the baby, based on an analysis of his movements, sounds and sounds in and around him, for example: when he cried, laughed, was exposed to music that provoked movement, responded to stimuli in dialogue with an adult and more. These data also allow for early identification of various safety incidents and alert in cases of deterioration in the quality of care the infant receives, prior to the occurrence of neglect or other emergencies. For example, the device detects a decrease in the quality of care the baby receives, increased exposure to digital screens, traveling in a vehicle to illogical destinations, removing the device from the child’s body and more.
The development accompanies the parents and the baby in the most critical period in which they create their parenting patterns and partnership in caring for and raising the baby. The insights are for parents’ use, and they can share the “baby diary” with other family members and caregivers of their choice. Parents can contact counselors and experts directly from the app, share with them data on behavior, development and quality of care for the baby, and receive fact-based counseling. Early detection of developmental problems is especially critical to provide the baby with prompt professional care and response before the problems are fixed and exacerbated.
The startup LittleOne.Care was founded by Ami Moeded and Shauli Gur Arieh, who serves as the company’s CEO, is a graduate of the Talpiot program and is a member of Unit 81 of the Intelligence Corps, with extensive knowledge and experience in monitoring and big data systems. , Which specializes in algorithms and sensors, the company received a grant from the We19 project founded by Amnon Shashua, founder of Mobilai and an investment of the Axon Fund, which invests in high-tech projects.
The company has created a database of the world’s largest information files on infant crying, labeled according to the causes of crying and its types, which provides a comparative measure of infant crying. She filed two patent applications with the U.S. Patent Office in the field of monitoring. The company began a clinical trial with Hadassah Hospital, in the field of child development and led by two pediatricians, and is launching a beta program in the United States with the participation of parents of infants, first in the Beverly Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles and later in New York.
