Veba™ Baby Bottle Monitor
A tech innovator by trade, Veba's founder saw the opportunity to create a solution that would add safety and ease to infant care : a device and mobile app that work together to monitor the quality of milk / formula in a baby bottle, and alert caregivers of unsafe conditions. Using integrated Industrial design and engineering —as well as our services in UI/UX design, software development, and branding — we successfully built Veba alongside our client.

Smart and Safe
To create the smart monitoring device, our team of engineers first designed the firmware and custom PCB to support the smart features and wireless connectivity. Integrated sensors
facilitate the recognition and tracking of notable events, including when a baby is bottle-feeding, or if the temperature reaches unsafe levels. Our algorithms are then able to automatically adjust the safe timing / temperature requirements shown on the mobile app based off the kind of milk used, if the milk was frozen and thawing or not, and any feeding from that bottle occurred.
Tracking Safe Temperatures
Overall, our product designers elected for an unobtrusive aesthetic, as it's less distracting for the baby when feeding, and reflects the calm nature of the Veba brand. The device is mounted on a silicon band with a playful wave pattern and does not obstruct the LED light indicators needed for communication with the user. The wave shape also lends extra stretch, providing the flexibility needed to fit different-sized bottles.
