Like a Fitbit for your baby, Sproutling is an app combined with a wearable band that monitors your baby's status and helps you understand how to be a more effective parent. The app records the baby's heartbeat, if the baby is sleeping on their back or stomach, temperature of the room, and the baby's mood when they awaken.

Based on the collected info, Sproutling predicts when the baby will wake up and if the environment will interfere with their ability to sleep.

Sproutling's pre-order campaign has launched with a price of $249 (vs. the retail price that is estimated at $299). The developers are looking to hit $50,000 for the first round of monitors that will ship in early 2015.
