Technology project
IUNOCARE
Technology for newborn care.
A project developing a wearable system for monitoring a baby’s condition, with a mobile app and a digital data processing platform.
What it is
A technology ecosystem that brings together a wearable device, baby monitor functions, a mobile app and a cloud platform.
The tracker sock on the baby’s foot measures temperature, heart rate, oxygen level, breathing cycles and body position. The base station in the room monitors air temperature and humidity, recognises crying and turns on white noise. The data is sent to the parents’ mobile app.
The system keeps parents informed about their baby’s wellbeing and is not a medical device: it is not intended for diagnosis or treatment.
Development history
- 2020Application filed for the utility model “Device for monitoring a child’s vital signs” (priority date 11 August 2020). Patent RU 207002 published on 6 October 2021.
- 2021Application filed for the invention “System for monitoring a child’s vital signs” (priority date 27 January 2021). Patent RU 2770978 published on 25 April 2022.
- 2021Prototypes were built and underwent preliminary trials involving 19 families with babies aged 1.5 to 4 months.
Results
Prototypes have been built, preliminary trials carried out and two patents granted.

Prospects
An industrial version of the product has not yet been created. The next stage of development is to build it, which requires additional investment.
Business model: initially, sales of the device and a subscription for parents; later, services and analytics solutions for healthcare institutions, research organisations and other professional partners.
