Zoundream is celebrating another market launch: the Zoundream technology for infant cry translation has been integrated in the latest Premium Connected Baby Monitor developed by Philips Avent. The combination of Philips Avent’s global leadership in baby care with Zoundream’s expertise in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and infant voice analysis serves to strengthen Zoundream’s presence in the industry, as the Basel-based startup writes in a press release.

This voice recognition technology interprets different types of crying. Through continuous monitoring, it gives parents real-time insights into their baby’s emotional state and needs, in addition to helping them to respond more quickly and accurately. This ultimately opens up a new dimension of understanding for early-stage parenting.

Zoundream is part of the DayOne portfolio

In September 2023, Zoundream reported a first major market launch. This involved the Maxi Cosi See Pro Baby Monitor from Dorel Juvenile, which was the first product anywhere in the world to integrate Zoundream’s cry analysis technology.

In July 2024, Zoundream completed a takeover of Babbly. The AI technology developed by the Canadian startup is focused on the early detection of speech and language development disorders in infants. With this technological extension, Zoundream is seeking to become the global market leader for infant voice analysis.

In 2019, the year in which Zoundream was founded, the startup, which is based at the Novartis Campus site of the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area, received support from the investment and innovation promotion agency Basel Area Business & Innovation and took part in its DayOne Accelerator.
