Telekom: Shared Heartbeats

The moment a child is born, a strong bond arises, but there’s one fundamental connection which is lost along the way. Before giving birth, the most important sound a child hears is the mother’s heartbeat. The calming nature of this ever-pounding rhythm is essential. Telekom’s Shared Heartbeats app now broadcasts this sound to newborn babies with a simple synchronization. The app detects the mother’s heartbeat via the Apple Watch and links it to a Bluetooth speaker put next to the child to give them the reassuring they suddenly miss. This connection is an important aspect regarding the babies’ health.
