Intel Technology has come out with a onesie that can detect the temperate and position of the baby as it sleeps. Detecting wether the baby is in a certain position can help prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which is a common fear amongst parents. Intel is also working on detecting when the baby wakes up. How does it do this? There are intelligent fibers that go through the garment and send information to a chip called "turtle". The turtle is also imbedded on the onesie, but it is secularly placed so that it does not become a choking hazard for the baby. All this detected information is sent from the turtle to the parents' smart phones or other device. A lot of questions arise with this new technology. First and foremost, how safe is it? Intel Technology assures consumers that the baby will not be harmed by this onesie, it is made to be completely safe for them. The technology uses little power and it is well tested to make sure no harm comes across to the baby. Another question is, can one wash this smart onesie without damaging it. The answer is yes, the garment is machine washable. This onesie will be sale very soon for $100.99.
