Outside Shoreditch : TweetPee , Get a Tweet When Your Baby Pee


Changing diapers is a never-ending task for new mommies. Technology is to help make it easier for moms to know when their infant needs a change.

Called TweetPee, a sensor shaped like a little blue bird, attaches to the front of the diaper and detects moisture when the baby lets a little something go. Then that sensor sends a Tweet to mom or dad, letting them know that it’s time to get up and change the child.

There’s a huge market for such applications for both babies and adults. Recently, a new app came about, which has a simple goal of masking unpleasant bathroom noises by releasing fake sounds of a running sink or shower. The idea is that you are saving resources by not depleting actual water.
