Last week Dote, the world’s first in-and-out of home integrated AI-powered smart baby monitor for the pushchair, car and home held an exclusive preview event ahead of its official launch in the Autumn.
Providing a first glimpse into what the firm has been developing, An Evening with Dote marked the first opportunity to experience the Dote products, and hear from the team already disrupting the baby industry.
Dote’s Managing Director, Denise Namakando, introduced the vision for the brand – to make early parenthood better through thoughtful design, innovative technology and ideas that empower parents.
“We know from our research, that parents want to feel the peace of mind that comes from tracking their baby’s developmental progress and health, in real-time,” said Denise Namakando. “Our purpose is to bridge the gap between parental intuition and clinical insight by giving every parent the tools they need to recognise their child’s unique patterns.”
The brand’s hero product, Dote Buddy, has been designed to provide parents with comprehensive, real-time insights into their baby’s health and wellbeing. Equipped with a 1440p HD wide-angle camera, an AI Imager module, smart cry detection, surface and ambient temperature sensors, and humidity monitoring, the Dote Buddy utilises AI to analyse various critical data streams.
Alongside the Dote senior team, Seonaid Thompson PhD, Market Intelligence Officer at Medipex presented the results of their independent study into the feasibility of Dote Buddy’s ability to enable detection of specific health conditions & disorders.
Seonaid Thompson commented: “Recognising the potential of continuous infant monitoring and AI-driven analysis, Dote wanted to explore how the Dote Buddy’s existing capabilities and future advancements could be used for the early detection of critical infant medical conditions.
“With its focus on real-time personalised data and AI-powered analysis, the Dote Buddy represents a promising avenue for addressing this need, and the potential of Dote Buddy to improve infant healthcare and expand its capabilities beyond monitoring into a valuable early detection tool.”
Ralph Wood, Chief Product Officer at Dote, showcased the central features of Dote Buddy; how the AI-driven smart baby monitor transitions effortlessly from the nursery to the pushchair or car, providing real-time, personalised data to support parents wherever they are – all aimed at removing the guesswork from day-to-day parenting, to make parents feel empowered.
Completing the event line-up, Joe Swanston, Dote’s Head of Sales, highlighted the positive feedback already received from major retailers including Mamas and Papas, Currys, Selfridges, Amazon, and US giant, Target, all of whom showed interest and excitement in the change this can bring to families and the wider nursery category.
Dote’s AI-powered product ecosystem has been designed to integrate seamlessly into parents’ lives, both at home and on-the-go.
With its innovative product ecosystem, a recently expanded technical and senior leadership team, and a funding round underway, Dote is poised to significantly accelerate its global reach and growth trajectory, in what is expected to be a landmark year for the tech scaleup.
