Pampers is launching a new line of smart diapers this fall. The diapers can track when your baby pees and will report it to you immediately on your smartphone app. The diapers can’t detect poop.

The diapers can also track a baby’s sleep patterns and will record those on the app.

The data could be very be useful to parents and pediatricians.

Introducing Lumi by Pampers, the world’s first all-in-one connected care system that is revolutionizing baby monitoring, developed in partnership with #Verily and @Logitech #lumibypampers https://t.co/NqhBwXSrws
