  • Bellybutton

    Bempu's BellyButton is a monitoring device that attaches to a baby's clothing or diaper, alerting caregivers to breathing motions. It flashes green during normal breathing and red with alerts if breathing stops or slows. Features include vibration stimulation to help restart breathing, an easy-clip design for quick attachment, and accurate monitoring of motion for faster response than traditional methods. BellyButton ensures safety and comfort, meeting international standards, and includes a loud alarm to alert caregivers, with a long-lasting battery for reliable use.

  • TempWatch

    Bempu introduces the TempWatch, a pioneering bracelet designed to detect hypothermia early in newborns, addressing the critical issue of low body temperature in infants. Developed by a biomedical engineer from Stanford, the TempWatch aims to mitigate the risks associated with hypothermia, which often leads to hospital admissions and poses significant dangers to newborns. Given the challenges infants face in regulating their body temperature, coupled with the potential for infections and low blood sugar levels exacerbating the problem, preventing hypothermia is complex. The TempWatch utilises a medical-grade sensor to provide continuous temperature monitoring, signalling adequate warmth with a blue blink and issuing alerts with red flashes and sounds to prompt caregivers to take action if the baby becomes cold, thereby preventing harm.
