Under the History tab, tapping on any previously recorded sleep sessions will take you to the sleep details page for that session. A sleep session is defined as the start of the start of the monitoring session to the end. You will see data from Dream Sock for various metrics recorded during that session for the past 30 days. This feature allows you to have an overall view of the baby’s monitoring sessions.
Using Oxygen and Pulse Rate History
Enabling the Health Notifications function allows Caregivers to view historical sleep session data and graphs for Pulse Rate and Oxygen Saturation levels. This feature must be enabled. Historical graphs provide a full visual review of Pulse Rate and Oxygen Saturation levels throughout the session allowing you to focus on changes from baseline levels and may be more meaningful than one single measurement. The graphs allow you to view the 10-minute averages of Pulse Rate and Oxygen Saturation.
Measurements should be interpreted thoughtfully considering other signs, symptoms and health history, otherwise the measurement may be misleading.
The Owlet Dream App has tooltips that can be used as a quick reference by tapping the help question mark. The History page tooltips have a quick reference table for normal historical Oxygen Saturation and Pulse Rate values for children based on age.
NOTE: Oxygen Saturation and Pulse Rate History will only be displayed for time periods where sufficient data is available.
Oxygen Trends
Once the Dream Sock Health Notification function has been activated, a graph is available showing a trend of 10-minute averages of Oxygen Saturation readings. The graph will also be presented with an average of the Oxygen Saturation levels measured through the session.
It is expected that an infant should have an Oxygen Saturation level over 90%. However, any prolonged episode of lower Oxygen Saturation levels may show up as a dip in the trend line. The most common reason for this to happen is when a baby is getting sick with a virus that affects their breathing. An observation of an Oxygen Saturation level between 80 and 90% is a reason to check on the baby for signs of breathing difficulty, including nasal congestion, fast or labored breathing, and wheezing.
Additional symptoms to check for may include:
-Color of the infant’s lips (are they pink or blue?)
-Breathing (fast or labored?)
-Alertness level (i.e. does the baby respond to your voice or touch?)
-Temperature (does the baby feel hot to touch?)
If you observe a change in the child’s Oxygen Saturation patterns, it is recommended that you also check the child for any signs of illness, and any safety issues in the child’s sleep environment. You can also look at a live Oxygen Saturation reading in the Owlet Dream App to determine if there is still a change in Oxygen Saturation from the child’s typical levels.
WARNING! If you have concerns about Oxygen Saturation readings, or the child’s symptoms are serious or getting worse, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
Pulse Rate Trends
Once the Health Notifications function has been activated, the graph tracking Pulse Rate levels provides a trend of 10 minute averages of Pulse Rate readings. This provides a general review of the pattern of Pulse Rate ranges through a session. It is expected that an infant wearing the Sock with Sensor may have a lower Pulse Rate during sleep than during awake hours (for reference of normal awake Pulse Rates, please see Live Health Readings articles. It is normal to see variability in the Pulse Rate, especially if the child is still waking up during the night. You will also see an average Pulse Rate for the entire sleep session presented with the graph.
If you observe a large change in the child’s average Pulse Rate, it may suggest that the child was uncomfortable, had higher numbers of awakenings, or has an illness developing. It is recommended that you check the child for any signs of illness, and any safety issues in the child’s sleep environment.
WARNING! If you have concerns about Pulse Rate readings, or the child’s symptoms are serious or getting worse, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
