• ‘Only Owlet’ shows the impact stress & lack of sleep are having on the lives of parents globally and shares powerful stories from those who have found a solution

LEHI, Utah / Jul 25, 2024 / Business Wire / Today, Owlet, Inc. (NYSE: OWLT) (the “Company” or “Owlet”), the pioneer of smart infant monitoring, launched Only Owlet, a global campaign that brings together new research and real-life stories to spotlight the common anxieties parents all experience, and how Owlet helps empower families around the world by helping them through the most difficult of challenges.

Parents Around the World Are Exhausted And Anxious

Owlet is sharing new data completed in conjunction with accredited research firm Censuswide, revealing the extent of the stress and worry that comes with being a new parent, and what parents need to alleviate these anxieties. The data shows that the top emotion felt by parents during the first year of their baby’s life is exhaustion – and rightfully so as parents are getting up to check on their baby up to eight times each night. Parents are anxious about their baby getting sick or passing away from sudden unexpected infant death syndrome/sudden infant death syndrome (SUIDS/SIDS), and caregivers around the globe are struggling with sleep deprivation, anxiety, and finding time for themselves.

Owlet Parents Have More Peace Of Mind

Almost 3 out of 4 of parents surveyed say that infant monitoring technology has helped them feel less stressed and anxious. Owlet is the answer for millions of parents across the globe. For more than a decade, Owlet has been at the forefront of technology development that empowers parents when it comes to their baby’s health. As the first company in the baby monitoring industry to have global medical certifications, including two FDA-clearances, Owlet provides caregivers with their baby’s live health vitals and sends real-time, actionable alarms allowing parents to rest easier while their baby sleeps or intervene in potentially critical events. In fact, 96% of Owlet parents surveyed have reported more peace of mind and 94% have reported better quality of sleep¹.

“Owlet’s mission is to empower caregivers with critical information, so that they can take quick action on their babies’ health, or just feel confident their baby is safe while they sleep,” said Kurt Workman, Owlet Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “It’s clear from the data that parents around the world are in desperate need of sleep and peace of mind. Our Owlet parent stories demonstrate that health monitoring technology is impactful and very necessary.”

Real Stories, Real Impact

Kali is the mother of a 5-month-old, and an Owlet parent, who brought her baby home after a five day stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to fluid in his lungs. “During this two month period, my anxiety was through the roof. Constantly checking his chest, manually counting his respirations and pulse. I decided to get my hands on the Dream Sock. The very first night we used it I noticed the weight of my stress felt so much lighter.” Another parent, Brian, shared his story about how Owlet helped him know when to seek care for his baby. “We thought she just had a cold, but our Dream Sock notified us of her low oxygen, prompting us to take her to the hospital. We were informed that [she] had RSV [respiratory syncytial virus] and was admitted immediately. Without that knowledge, who knows how long we would have waited to bring her in.”

Whether it was receiving an alarm that prompted them to take immediate action, helping parents identify early signs of illness, or simply providing the peace of mind that helped them get back to sleep, hundreds of parents around the world have shared how Owlet has made a critical difference in their lives.

“The Only Owlet campaign is aimed at sharing stories like Kali and Brian’s with other parents, so that they can feel empowerment and community in their shared experiences,” said Liz Teran, Chief Marketing Officer at Owlet. “We invite all parents to share their stories with us. But most importantly, our goal is to give parents confidence in their baby’s safety and a solution for their worries, so that they can focus on enjoying the earliest and most challenging days of parenthood.”
