Sleep Device Testing to Promote Sleep in Infants

Clinical Testing of a Novel Device to Promote Sleep Continuity in Infants

Infants often have sleep challenges. Most of these challenges in otherwise healthy children and due to behavioral insomnia. The goal for infants is to become independent sleepers by learning the process of self-soothing. This study hopes to determine if technology based on sensors is able to help teach self-soothing to infants.
