Baby Tech Booms at CES: Babylist and Living in Digital Times Announce Best of BabyTech Award Winners at CES® 2019LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Babylist, the premier platform for new and expecting parents, today announced the winners of the fourth annual Best of BabyTech Awards at CES® 2019. The baby tech industry is booming. This year's competition drew an 88% increase in entries year-over-year. This year's winners will be featured in a panel focusing on the future of baby tech on January 8 at 2pm on the Living in Digital Times stage at CES. "New parenthood can be overwhelming. We know from talking to the parents who have created tens of thousands of registries on Babylist that only 11% feel 'prepared' and have already done their product research. 43% report feeling 'overwhelmed' and don't know where to start," said Natalie Gordon, CEO of Babylist. "We wanted to recognize and surface high-tech solutions to hack the experience, making everything easier -- from getting pregnant to feeding your baby to helping your child learn." "The Baby Tech Awards at CES provides the ultimate platform for innovation in early parenting and baby," said Jill Gilbert, producer of the Baby Tech Summit and Marketplace. "The smartest, savviest and most connected generation of parents to ever exist are burgeoning from the innovators and technologies we are highlighting here—we are so proud to be working alongside Babylist to spotlight this blooming, ever-growing market." Best of Baby Tech Award Winners: BABY SLEEP and AUDIENCE FAVORITE: MIKU, a baby monitor that uses proprietary technology developed by a team of military engineers to accurately track your baby's breathing sound and sleeping patterns with no wires or wearables. FERTILITY & PREGNANCY: Tempdrop, a smart thermometer that gives women insight into their body's cycle without sacrificing sleep. Worn under the arm overnight, Tempdrop's patent-pending, proprietary algorithm learns monthly and nightly sleeping temperature patterns and gives women the most accurate reading possible without any need for early morning wake-ups. BABY HEALTH & SAFETY: Jiobit is the first of its kind patented location tracking platform, enabling the longest lasting and smallest real-time location products (indoor or out) with best-in-class security. PLAY & LEARN: Woobo is a fuzzy robot version of an imaginary friend every child dreams of. Woobo can answer questions, express feelings, sing songs, and play games for kids 4 and up. PARENTING: Elvie Pump is the world's first silent wearable breast pump. The truly hands-free pump gives women the flexibility to go about their daily routine while pumping, without worrying about cords, wardrobe changes or the undignified sound of traditional electric breast pumps. An accompanying app lets users monitor pumping progress and automatically pause pumping when the bottle is full. The complete list of the entrants and finalists are online at the Best of Baby Tech Awards. For more details on the winners, see Best of Babytech at Babylist.
