Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Infants often have sleep challenges. Most of these challenges in otherwise healthy children and due to behavioral insomnia. The goal for infants is to become independent sleepers by learning the process of self-soothing. This study hopes to determine if technology based on sensors is able to help teach self-soothing to infants.
