Owlet’s mission is to empower parents with the right information at the right time, to give them more peace of mind and help them find more joy in the journey of parenting. In early 2022, Owlet launched our Dream Sock, replacing Smart Sock 3 in the US and Canada markets. This was both an advancement in our sleep technology experience and a response to the FDA.
In late 2021, the FDA asserted that the Owlet Smart Sock should be classified as a medical device in the U.S. because of the live heart rate and oxygen notifications. Owlet is currently in the process of pursuing marketing authorization from the FDA. We hold ourselves to the highest standard and responded by accelerating our Dream Sock launch to early 2022 and accelerating our work with the FDA (which is still ongoing).
