Dream Sock provides caregivers with a deeper understanding of their infant’s safety and well-being. Below are some frequently asked questions
How does Dream Sock work?
Dream Sock uses advanced sensors to monitor your baby's pulse rate, oxygen saturation level, and sleep patterns, and sends this data to the Base Station and Owlet Dream App for real-time updates. It features Live Health Readings, including pulse rate and oxygen level, and Health Notifications that will notify caregivers with lights and sounds if levels leave preset ranges.
What are the preset ranges for pulse rate and oxygen level notifications with the new medically-cleared Dream Sock experience?
You will receive a Health Notification when your baby’s pulse rate falls below 50 beats per minute, exceeds 220 beats per minute, or when your baby’s oxygen saturation level is below 80%.
Why are the parameters for notifications under 50 BPM or over 220 BPM for pulse rate or below 80% for oxygen saturation level? Seems too low.
The preset ranges for Dream Sock notifications consider the common conditions possible across the intended user range and the appropriateness of the parameters to minimize nuisance notifications. These parameters have been validated through clinical studies which evaluated the prevalence of clinically actionable notifications. If you have concerns about your infant’s readings, even if they do not approach the set notification limits, please discuss them with your healthcare provider.
Is Dream Sock safe and accurate?
Dream Sock is safe and accurate when using as intended. Achieving this medical clearance means Dream Sock was clinically tested and evaluated for oxygen saturation (SpO2) accuracy across all skin tones (Type I-VI on the Fitzpatrick scale) under motion and non-motion conditions. Dream Sock has been demonstrated to be accurate within +/- 3% of gold-standard arterial blood gas measurements.
What makes Dream Sock different from other baby monitors?
Unlike traditional monitors, it provides detailed health metrics, is Medically Certified, and focuses on both safety and comfort.
How does predictive sleep work?
Predictive Sleep uses historical sleep data of your baby and best practices for sleep based on your baby's age to recommend the next appropriate sleep window. Our Predictive Sleep Technology utilses neuro-protective sleep science and behavioral sleep intervention practices, also leveraging the sleep-wake homeostasis. The sleep-wake homeostat is driven by a sleep hormone that builds pressure until it reaches a tipping point, which causes sleep. This builds throughout the day, but for infants and children it builds more frequently and a daytime nap—or naps—are required. These naps can be 20 minutes to 3 hours long depending on the sleep your baby feels they need, the amount of sleep they previously had, how long they have been awake, age and their developmental stage.
Can I view the studies on Dream Sock?
A selection of our clinical accuracy studies are summarized in Section 16 of our Dream Sock User Manual. Highlights are below:
- Dream Sock has been clinically evaluated for SpO2 accuracy across all skin tones (Type I-VI on the Fitzpatrick scale) under motion and non-motion conditions. Dream Sock has been demonstrated to be accurate within +/- 3% of gold-standard arterial blood gas measurements.
- Dream Sock was additionally evaluated in a study in the home environment, representative of the typical use-environment against an FDA-cleared pulse oximeter. Dream Sock was shown to be accurate not only during infants’ rest but also during gentle motion, like wiggling or feeding.
Will my current Smart Sock V3 still work?
You can continue to use your current Smart Sock V3 Owlet product within the Owlet care app.
