Market Need Currently, parents' lose ~33% of sleep (Silentnight Survey 2016) driven by babies' needs and stress/anxiety, which has physical/mental health, socio-economic and relationship impact (NIH 2020). There is reduced health-visitor and other care resources (Nursing Times 2019) further reduced by COVID19. Stress can result in 25% mums suffering depression, costing the UK £9bn yearly (LSE 2014). UK parents do not have access to evidence-based affordable expert support for their daily day-to-day parenting challenges. Key Objectives Connido's current basic baby monitor "Bluebell'' is already sold in High street retailers and has global potential to build UK excellence in baby and parent monitoring. The PaSS project will build on information and insights already collected relating to baby and parent needs to deliver extremely innovative data and affordable access to expert driven monitoring and personalised support for parents.

**Market Need** - Over-65s represent 80% of COVID-19 fatalities (Imperial College, 2020) and early identification of symptoms is essential to avoid severe COVID-19 infections (The Lancet, 30/03/20). UK's CHs play a vital role, however, 28% have confirmed cases of COVID-19 (CareHome.UK, 17/04/2020). Care Homes face extreme challenges reducing transmission, with movement between residents' rooms taking time, adding stress and increasing risk of spreading the disease. **Key Objectives** - ACT will rapidly augment Bluebell's current baby monitor to be suitable for Care Homes, safely and quickly identifying early COVID-19 symptoms in residents. As well as improving care for older people, this will reduce costs and pressure on the healthcare system. --ADDITIONAL INFORMAITON-- ACT project so far has proved that the monitoring technology can accurately monitor elderly people but further minor modifications to the product and app design are required with additional beta testing to ensure it is more elderly friendly. In parallel, the team would continue to explore and further develop business model in domestic and Care Home setting and continued collaboration with the partners. Therefore, the extension would enable ACT to deliver the full potential of improving the care of elderly people whilst reducing costs and pressure on the healthcare system.

This project is to develop an intelligent wearable baby monitoring system. Unlike all the other baby monitors on the market it will use predictive analytics and machine learning in a way that we believe will strengthen family bonds thereby improving the whole family well-being. It will also use technology that enables the parent to be further away from the baby than current monitors and still receive data and alarms if appropriate.
