What if, we could know exactly what a baby wants when she cries? Well, for parents that are overwhelmed by the arrival of their crying new-born there is a solution:the Baby Translator!
Did you know that new-borns have a universal language? Crazy but true! Between 0-6 months, a baby’s cry is the same across the world, for instance Italian babies cry the same as Chinese ones, same as Kenyan ones. After 6 months, the local language begins to kick in and there are differences. But before that, babies express worldwide the same five basic needs: hunger, sleepiness, stomach pain, need to burp, and discomfort (e.g. wet nappies).
Get an idea how this devices works 👇
Zoundream, a Swiss start-up based in Basel, developed the Baby Translator: a small hardware device with a unique software based on artificial intelligence (AI). It is a later stage prototype and it works, but like all AI, it needs more data (i.e. baby cries) to train the acoustic model and be more accurate. This is why we need you!
