My toddler was suffering from seizures and when I read that the FP2 offered sleep monitoring of heart rate and respiratory I bought it thinking it would be useful to alert me if he had any episode at night time. I know there are other dedicated solutions for this that are much more expensive so I decided to give the FP2 a try. It failed miserably. It may be his little body but I would set up so I could see his heart rate and breathing and 5mins laterh it would just say no one was in the bed. Please improve on this function, the need is there, specially for those with little ones. Parents are constantly buying new products to monitor their little ones breathing and heart rate.

@rsanc013 Thank you for sharing your experience and concerns with the FP2’s sleep monitoring function. It’s important to know that the FP2 is designed primarily for single-person monitoring and relies on radar technology to detect subtle movements, including heart rate and breathing. The challenges you encountered could be due to the device’s limitations in picking up smaller body movements, like those of a toddler.
The FP2’s radar technology can be less effective in capturing the vital signs of smaller individuals, and it should not replace medical equipment for critical monitoring tasks such as seizure alerts. For improving detection accuracy, you might consider adjusting the monitoring settings, such as sensitivity, and ensuring the monitored zone is precisely tuned. However, for needs as specific as monitoring a toddler’s vital signs during sleep, dedicated medical-grade equipment might be more reliable.
Your feedback is invaluable, and I encourage you to share more insights with the community as this could drive improvements in future product iterations. If you have further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
