HOWDY BABY – Continuous monitoring for newborns, infants, and children
What is HOWDY BABY?
HOWDY BABY is a wearable medical device that allows continuous, non-invasive monitoring through the measurement of the vital and motor parameters of newborns, infants, and children up to 16 years of age.
• HOWDY BABY (Electronic unit + App), class IIb medical device
• Sensorized band or sensorized top, class I medical device (available in different models and sizes)
A compatible thermometer and pulse oximeter are also available.
Designed by ComfTech, it combines advanced technology and comfort, making it suitable for both hospital and home use.
Thanks to its built-in sensors, HOWDY BABY detects heart rate and real-time ECG tracing, respiratory rate and body position. Temperature and oxygen saturation can be monitored using third-party devices via the Howdy app. All data is displayed live via the App and collected to provide a complete picture of the patient.
Multiparametric, safe, and discreet monitoring
HOWDY BABY was created to meet the needs of neonatal care units, offering healthcare professionals a reliable tool that does not interfere with the first moments between newborn and family.
Today, its use has also expanded into pediatrics and home healthcare.
In the first moments of life
HOWDY BABY allows healthcare professionals to have constant access to crucial information for newborn care, maintaining a natural experience during the first moments of life. The system is suitable for use during skin-to-skin contact and rooming-in.
To support the care routine, the HOWDY App also integrates the Postnatal Surveillance Cards of the Italian Society of Neonatology, which are useful for the prevention and management of Postnatal Collapse (SUPC).

In the days following birth
During the hospital stay, HOWDY BABY ensures continuous remote monitoring for the benefit of newborns, parents, and healthcare professionals.
The use of the device allows high standards of clinical care to be maintained, without sacrificing the physical contact that is essential in the first days of life.
In childhood and adolescence
The use of HOWDY BABY goes beyond the moments immediately following birth.
The device can be used to support care within the pediatric ward or follow the patient at home for greater safety during everyday life.
The elements of the ecosystem
Data from the App can be shared in various ways depending on the context of use.
For use in healthcare facilities, Central Monitor* is also available, allowing real-time data from multiple monitored newborns to be viewed simultaneously on a single screen, with no distance limits, making it easier for operators.
For use at home, the ComfTech Web App allows doctors to consult data on different patients and trends over time.
The system can also be integrated with third-party telemedicine platforms.
