Samsung’s Idea to Link Parents with Preemies
Samsung is working on a system that the firm hopes will help connect parents with their premature infant children and potentially improve developmental outcomes. In a way it is a speakerphone that would be installed inside the incubator and linked to a parent’s smartphone. Parents can talk to the child that’s stuck at the hospital while parents are away, singing songs and what**t. Interestingly, the mother can also*record her heartbeat, and the sound of a beating heart, as would be heard inside the womb, would play to the child.*The idea is to simulate in a small way the audio environment the child was in before birth, hopefully helping it feel comfortable and relaxed.

Here’s a Samsung promo video for the Voices of Life idea:
