Using a sensor pad under a crib, Haim Shtalryd develops the first modern baby breathing monitor and begins marketing it through the company Hisense. The Babysense monitor can detect and prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, the leading cause of death in infants under a year old in the US and Europe. Today, the monitor is used in hospitals and private homes all over the world.
