About
Owlet is a pioneering baby health technology company that set a new standard in early parenting care by creating the first FDA-cleared smart baby monitor. The flagship Dream Sock® wearable continuously monitors a baby's pulse rate, blood oxygen levels, and sleep patterns, delivering live medical-grade readings and real-time health notifications directly to parents' smartphones. The full Owlet ecosystem includes multiple products designed for different parenting needs: the Dream Sock® for wearable vitals monitoring, the Dream Duo™ combining the sock with a camera system, the Dream Sight™ smart HD video monitor, and BabySat® for hospital-grade home monitoring of high-risk infants.

These actionable recommendations help families build healthier sleep routines tailored to each baby's developmental stage. Smart alerts covering abnormal vitals, crying, motion, and sound give parents the confidence to rest while staying fully informed. Trusted by parents and endorsed by medical experts, Owlet has earned over 100 industry awards.
