‘Inspiring the Future’ is a series of stories created by Business Insider and powered by KIA. Co-founded by data scientist Ana Laguna, the start-up Zoundream has developed an application that is capable of translating babies’ cries and thus knowing what is happening to them.
The technology It is increasingly present in our lives and, on many occasions, it has become a great ally for individual but also social progress. But, in addition, it is also an advanced ally for the growth and development of the little ones. So, for example, there are these technological solutions:
Technological toys: There are toys that incorporate technology, such as tablets and interactive dolls. These toys can provide enriching play experiences and stimulate early learning, but it is important for parents to monitor and monitor the time children spend with these devices.
Educational applications: There are a wide range of educational apps designed to teach children skills such as letter and number recognition, problem solving, and creativity. These applications can be useful as a complement to traditional education, but again, parental control is necessary to ensure proper use.
Online learning tools: In formal education, online platforms are used and software educational to teach children effectively. This has become especially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools turned to online education.
Tracking and security devices: Parents use tracking and security devices that incorporate technology to keep an eye on their children’s location and well-being, which can give them peace of mind.
But even before future children are born, technology is already a great ally:
Prenatal and postnatal imaging: Prenatal ultrasound and medical imaging, such as MRI and CT scan, are used to detect abnormalities in the development of the fetus before birth and in babies after birth. This may include screening for brain, heart, musculoskeletal, and other abnormalities.
Genetic and DNA testing: DNA sequencing and genetic testing are used to detect genetic disorders and chromosomal abnormalities in babies. This can include conditions such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and other genetic diseases.
Vital signs monitoring: Premature babies or those with medical conditions may be fitted with monitors that constantly monitor their vital signs, such as heart rate and oxygen saturation. This allows for early detection of any medical problems.
Diagnostic Imaging Technology: Advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI and CT scans, are used to detect organ and tissue problems in babies, which can be crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions.
Early detection applications: There are also mobile apps and health tracking devices that allow parents and caregivers to track certain health indicators, such as growth, eating, and sleep, which can help identify potential problems.
To all this are added solutions such as those offered by the start-up Zoundreamwhich uses artificial intelligence and sound recognition to analyze and translate the sounds of newborn crying, helping new parents understand what happens to their baby when they start crying.
Don’t miss this inspiring interview with Ana Laguna, data scientist and founder of Zoundreamwho tells us how the idea of developing this application came about, which also serves for the early detection of other types of pathologies.
