Nuvo Ritmo Advanced Pregnancy Sound System Announced
Written on Jan 13, 2010 by Brian and filed under News
We cover all sorts of kid’s tech on this site, but this is the first we’ve written about pre-natal tech. Ritmo has announced a pregnancy sound system, basically a simple way to deliver music and other recorded sound to the womb.
The mother wears a belt around her belly that includes four speakers and a controller that can sit in a pocket. The system has an input for MP3 players to deliver sound to the baby. The controller regulates the output of sound to a safe level for a baby to hear in-utero, regardless of how loud the sound was recorded or the volume that it is played.
Most moms-to-be are familiar with the Mozart Effect, and if you’re a believer, the Nuvo system delivers in a way that’s much more comfortable and safer than other methods. Of course you can also play any media files you want, including recordings of the parent’s voices, siblings, etc.
Post-pregnancy, Ritmo will continue to adapt with applications for the crib, stroller and toys all coming soon. The Ritmo is available now for $129.99.
