Evoz has taken a data source popularly believed to be of little value and transforming it into potentially life saving information. Evoz decided to look into the communication of babies at their most intense point: when they are crying.

Evoz has developed a baby monitor that uses two iOS devices as a futuristic full powered baby monitoring system. Because the Evoz baby monitor uses the Internet to transmit signals,  parents are no longer restricted to the limited ranges of traditional baby monitors: you can know when your baby is crying at work before the babysitter does.

However, the novelty of the Evoz baby monitor lies in the processing of the sounds the baby makes. The iOS baby monitor analyzes and organizes the streaming sound data retrieved from the baby on the fly to determine if the baby is really crying. Cars honking, people yelling outside, even blasting music could be confused with a baby cry and a traditional baby monitor would alert parents more than necessary. However Evoz uses its patented crying algorithm to organize the baby's sound data into true baby cries and background noises, alerting parents only when necessary.

It doesn't stop there. Evoz further analyzes the schedule and frequency of a baby's cries and compares that data to current research. Now your babies' data can be checked against recent studies to give parents more rich information about whether their baby is healthy, whether there are potential issues with their baby that have not been addressed, and so on. Determining whether or not the baby is crying is useful not only to alert parents but also to educate parents about what their baby's crying patterns may mean.
