It comes down to how much room there is to work with.Ī fully charged sock sensor lasts a little over 16hrs, enough to go through the evening and into the following morning. While is was generally easy to fit the sock on Hudson’s foot, on some occasions it was a snug fit into the feet of some onesies pyjamas. It was reported to be easy to position and stays on the foot throughout the night. There are clear markings on the inside of the sock showing where to place the sensor.

The Owlet Smart Sock is low profile, should be placed directly next to the skin and is designed to fit under a regular sock.
if you have been hospitalised before, or have watched lots of medical based shows, the finger clip they use in hospitals is the same technology. Pulse oximetry, in use in hospitals since 1987 is mature technology, it uses a small light to shine through the skin and the amount of blood flow and oxygen levels are estimated based on how much light is transmitted to a sensor. The base station then sends your baby’s heart rate and oxygen levels to your smartphone (via Wi-Fi). The electronics send your baby’s heart rate and oxygen levels to the base station (via Bluetooth). The sock electronics uses pulse oximetry to gather your baby’s heart rate and oxygen levels.

Once the app account is set up, both parents can download the app and have concurrent access to the information. Usually I would have spent more time in identifying the issue down to root cause, but when you are remote into a machine that is Wi-Fi connected to the router, every change drops my connection.Īside from that, the setup was reported to be straightforward, taking less than 30 minutes in total to create an account on the Owlet app, add the baby’s details, set up the sock, sensor and base station. The Owlet is a 2.4Ghz device so it makes sense. Setting the Wi-Fi channel (to 8 in this case but I will qualify it by saying I did not test other channels),Įnabling “20/40 MHz Coexistence”, which is where I suspect caused the issue.
In the end it was one of two things that solved the problem: There was some site specific initial hiccups where the base station refused to detect the Wi-Fi network, to the point where I had to remote in and check out the router configuration. Yes the socks do come in a variety of other colours and limited edition patterns, and can be purchased separately. They came in a pair of left and right, but you only need one sock on at any one time with the sensor.
The socks come in two sizes, for under 5.4 kg and from 5.4kg up to 13.6kg. With that in mind, Owlet’s box comes included with 1 smart sock sensor, 2 pairs of fabric socks, a base station, charging cord and adaptor, everything you need to be up and running in one place. The last thing I cared about is to try look for things to make something work. My second and third were a little less hectic but there are more children in the mix. I remember with my first baby, I was flat out looking after him. The parents are as always, responsible for the health and well-being of your baby and following safe sleep, health, and care guidelines. It is a consumer product that provides parents insights into their baby’s wellness, as well as peace of mind each time the parent puts their child down for a nap or to sleep at night. The Smart Sock is not a FDA-approved medical device and is not intended to diagnose, cure, treat, alleviate or prevent any disease or health condition or investigate, replace or modify any physiological process. Note that this review was conducted by Hudson’s parents, and I am writing up their experience of the product.Īs with any health and well-being related products, I am obliged to state this upfront. Hudson’s parents are first timers, and with thanks to Owlet, we are going to find out how it has helped them transition into parenthood. Perfectly timed for the launch of the Owlet Smart Sock V3. We are fortunate enough to have little Hudson arrive into the world at the end of October 2020. The Owlet Smart Sock is now on it’s third generation, the V3, and it is the first baby monitor to track your baby’s oxygen level and heart rate.įor those that have been long time readers of DRN, I am completely done and dusted with the baby making scene. There is always so much to do, so much going on, constantly looking in on bub to see if they are ok. Whether you are a first time parent or been around a few times, welcoming a newborn into the world is always an exciting and nervous time.
