The study will assess the effectiveness, performance, and accuracy of these monitors, which track heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and other vital signs. The study will also explore new care models to enhance infant home sleeping environments, criteria for health care plan coverage of these monitors, and recommendations on their efficacy for public or private health insurance coverage.
