> To make things easy for new parents, the team made a system that could run on a smart speaker that replicates the hardware in an Amazon Echo. > "Smart speakers are becoming more and more prevalent, and these devices already have the ability to play white noise," said co-author Shyam Gollakota, an associate professor in the UW's Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering and the director of the UW computing for health group. "If we could use this white noise feature as a contactless way to monitor infants' hand and leg movements, breathing and crying, then the smart speaker becomes a device that can do it all, which is really exciting." They are clearly aiming to get this running on smart speakers.
