Abstract: A method and system for controlling an infant-bed accessory is disclosed. The system employs collected information associated with the infant or the caregiver to initiate controls of the infant-bed accessory without the user's interaction.

Abstract: A networked computer-based system, method, and computer program product for providing care to an infant is disclosed. First data is received through a first communication path at an event server from a first device. The first device may be a childcare device or the first device may be a user device, such as a user's cellular telephone, networked personal computing device, or a health/sleep monitor. The event server also receives second data from a second device through a second communication path. The first communication path and the second communication path being at least partially different. The second communication device may be childcare device. The event server determines whether to send a control signal to a controllable childcare device or send a control signal to controllable childcare device. The event server uses the first and second data and applies the data to predetermined logic to determine a result.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling the storage and preparation of a container of milk for feeding is disclosed. The system employs collected information associated with the infant or the caregiver to initiate controls of the temperature of the milk without the user's interaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods detect respiration of a subject, process respiration data, and based on the processed respiration data, perform extended monitoring. A monitoring system is configured with sensors that can be worn by the subject to provide the respiration data. The respiration data is processes to create a stability index. The stability index is used to, for example, determine sleep stages.
