Pampers gets into smart diapers with Lumi

The smart diaper wars have truly begun. Today, Pampers unveiled Lumi, an all-in-one connected system that includes two activity sensors for diapers, a Logitech camera fashioned into a Wi-Fi baby monitor and an app that wraps everything together. It follows Huggies adoption of the Monit smart...

Stupid is stupid does. Bet their kids are all PhDs at 14.

ID10T. You effing kid is average, moran. And in this environmental/educational climate, your kid is going to be a sorry POS.

What a stupid idea and sadly I'm not even surprised. Give it about a month and there will be a security vulnerability where a hacker can do some damage like causing the battery to overheat or something.

Hacked diaper warning! Doodoo compromised! Change your passwords.

The world has truly gone to poop.

Wtf, diapers are designed to be compostable and now they add this e-junk to defeat that? Why not a velcro sensor you detach before disposal?

 

[ch33zw1z]

yea, so, wtf. It's not exactly difficult to tell when your kiddo needs a change.

You don't throw away the sensor. You reuse the sensor for each new diaper. It monitors the color change of the blue wetness stripe, which is on all diapers, and is just a dye that changes color when wet.

I can see it as useful if you bundle up your child for cold weather and don't want to remove several layers to check for wetness.

And if it is wet? You are not going to remove the layers? Also, the diaper hand feel is very different between dry and wet, even through layers of clothing.

The Lumi system is meant to make an infant's first year easier for parents by delivering as much data as possible.

Ah, paying a corporation money to gather details on you so they save $$$ on research for developing new products & services.

Pampers sensor also can't detect dirty diapers, so you'll still have to rely on the tried and true sniff test.

And, you still have to do what you should be doing; being a parent.

This is nothing more than handing over private details of your life and the life you just brought into this world.

Who does that? Shove a hand down and feel if it's wet. Amateurs!

 

[clamum]

LOL. Oh billy.

See now this is nice, so that mommy and daddy have to deal even less with babby. It'll be nice when the day arrives when we have smart robots that just take care of the kids so parents don't have to deal with all that headache and annoyance!

Don't make fun, some of you guys aren't too far from needing a pair of these yourselves and you know you are going to want the wifi enabled ones with built in bluetooth speaker and advanced dookie analysis.

Hacked to never report a pooper... HOW WILL THE PARENTS KNOW WHEN TO CHANGE IT?!

Honestly it's easier to tell just by seeing/feeling if there is a massive bulge in the area as far as wetness.

Also this is incredibly dumb, because even after a few drops those stupid things turn blue. You don't change a diaper after a little dribble - the diaper is doing its purpose... It's absorbing the liquid.

Eat Taco Bell and ice cream than download the entire GoT series in one sitting. An experience of ice and fire.

I can see the real market for this will be nursing homes.

Also parents/caregivers doing home elder care to reduce skin complications and help with provider burnout.

And for only $29.99/mo the power of attorney can install their app and get notifications as well and other data to see how their loved ones are being cared for. Have more than 2 loved ones and the other one is half off!

I probably shouldn't give capitalists any ideas.
