Mothair: Your Baby’s Sleep, Analyzed by AI. Every Night

Written by

No sock. No clip. No camera. AI-powered sleep insights delivered every morning so you can rest, knowing your baby is watched over.

The story 

🇫🇷 Parents francophones : commandez Mothair en français et en euros directement sur mothair.com/fr. Cette page Kickstarter est notre campagne internationale, en anglais.

Ways to keep an eye on a baby’s well-being already exist. Mothair grew out of a different belief: that we can do better by starting from what parents really need, bringing together complementary expertise, and building something that gives parents an early heads-up and the time to act on their children’s well-being and health. Our ambition is to build something lasting and ever-evolving, with growth that rests on the trust of the families who choose us. Every decision we make comes back to one simple question: does this genuinely make life better for parents and their children?

Over the past two years, our team of engineers, and doctors has worked relentlessly to build something that didn’t exist before: the first AI capable of truly understanding a child’s sleep, not just tracking movement or sound, but reading the subtle language of breathing and heartbeat, night after night.

To get there, we didn’t take shortcuts. We recorded and analyzed more than 10,000 hours of real infant sleep data, working hand-in-hand with hospitals, clinical partners, and families who trusted us to learn from their nights. 

The result is a system that doesn’t just notify you that something happened. It’s designed to help you understand what’s happening now, calmly, clearly, and early enough to matter and without disturbing the baby while he or she sleeps.

This isn’t a baby monitor. It’s the beginning of a new way to understand your baby’s sleep.

Here we are

Here is Mothair in action. 🍼
In this video, we show you the complete installation less than 5 minutes, no tools, no contact with baby’s skin. And above all, we prove that live tracking works in any real-world condition: baby out of bed, awake, or sleeping. All this via a simple Wi-Fi connection, no complex configuration.
But installation is just the beginning. The real heart of Mothair is what happens next: continuous monitoring of baby’s breathing, heart rate, and movements, analyzed by our AI to generate a comprehensive night report and preventive alerts up to 6 a.m. in advance.
This demo is proof that everything we promise works, from startup to continuous monitoring.
Put your baby to bed. Mothair does the rest.

Mothair is a wellness and sleep-insight product. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, and it is not designed to detect or alert you to a medical emergency. Mothair is not a substitute for adult supervision or for safe-sleep practices. For any health concern about your child, always consult a qualified healthcare professional.

When it comes to your child’s sleep, today’s options force a trade-off between comfort and real insight.

Smart cameras only tell you if your baby is asleep, not whether their breathing or heart rate is normal. They watch the room, not your child.

Wearable monitors strap a sensor to your baby’s foot to track heart rate and oxygen levels. But they require constant skin contact, can shift or fall off, and are prone to false alarms, creating anxiety instead of relieving it.

The result: parents left guessing, checking screens, and hoping nothing is wrong, without ever truly knowing.

No existing solution combines contactless monitoring with the simplicity parents actually need. That’s the gap Mothair was built to close.

How it works 

Mothair is a subscription  and that’s on purpose. You choose your plan and we send you everything you need: the ultra-thin sensor pad and the hub, ready to set up in minutes. From the very first night, the pad quietly captures your baby’s sleep signals, the hub turns them into clear insights, and each morning the app shows you how your little one slept. Nothing to charge, nothing to re-buy, nothing to throw away. And because Mothair runs on a subscription model, your app keeps getting better: we add new features throughout your subscription, so your experience improves over time at no extra cost and with no new hardware needed.

And here’s what makes Mothair different from anything else in the nursery: you only keep it for as long as you actually need it. The first months fly by, your baby grows, and one day you simply won’t need it anymore. When that day comes, you pause or cancel your plan and send the device back to us no expensive gadget gathering dust in a drawer, no electronic waste. Just the reassurance you want, for exactly the season of life you need it.

Smart mattress pad

A soft, ultra-thin mattress pad that slips discreetly under your child’s sheet: no wearables, no skin contact, nothing to disturb their sleep. Inside, a flexible sensor matrix captures the faintest signals of life: every heartbeat, every breath. Your child sleeps exactly as they always have. They’ll never even know it’s there.

The hub

A compact processing and connectivity unit that sits quietly beside the crib. This is where the magic happens: raw signals are securely processed in real time, transformed into meaningful insights, and instantly relayed to your phone, all while keeping your child’s data private and protected.

The app

This is where Mothair becomes part of your daily life. Open the app and see, at a glance, how your child slept sleep quality, breathing patterns, and a personalized wellbeing score built just for them. If something needs your attention, you’ll know immediately, with clear, actionable notifications instead of raw  and confusing data. And over time, the app learns your child’s unique rhythms, helping you understand their sleep like never before.

A New Way to Live the First 1,000 Days

The first 1,000 days of a child’s life shape everything that comes after: their health, their development, their sense of security. Yet parents navigate this critical window with little more than instinct, sleepless nights, and a phone full of conflicting advice.

Mothair changes that.

By combining a contactless sensor pad, real-time AI analysis, and an app designed for everyday life, Mothair gives parents something they’ve never truly had: a clear, continuous understanding of their child’s sleep and wellbeing, from the very first night home.

The Science Behind Mothair
 

Mothair uses ballistocardiography: highly sensitive sensors that detect the tiny mechanical movements of every heartbeat and breath, right through the mattress. No skin contact, no wearables, nothing to disturb your child’s sleep

Heart activity, breathing activity, temperature, and movement are analyzed in real time by our advanced AI models, trained on thousands of hours of real infant sleep. The result: a clear sleep and wellbeing analysis breakdown updated every morning.

But Mothair doesn’t just show data: it tells you what it means. Each morning, our AI highlights the one thing most worth focusing on tonight, and explains why, in plain language. No raw data to decode. Just clarity.

Mothair is a wellness and sleep-insight product. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, and it is not designed to detect or alert you to a medical emergency. Mothair is not a substitute for adult supervision or for safe-sleep practices. For any health concern about your child, always consult a qualified healthcare professional.

2 Years of R&D

2 years to develop a flexible sensor matrix sensitive enough to detect breathing and heartbeat through a mattress, yet soft enough to disappear under a sheet. 2 years to build machine learning and deep learning models from scratch, designed specifically for infant cardiorespiratory patterns, not adapted from adult health tech. 

Every component – sensor, hub, app – was tested, redesigned, and tested again, guided by real data from real families.

2 years. Several patented innovations. One product, finally ready.

Tested with real users & Compared with medical reference system

Refined and validated through extensive in-home testing with our first families, night after night.

  • More than a dozen infants, aged 1 to 23 months
  • Tested in both hospital and nursery settings
  • Multiple sessions of approximately one hour each

The results: In our testing, Mothair reliably detected breathing and movement patterns night after night.
