E-Health in everyday life: A mother tests MARY by sticklett

My name is Delphine, I'm a mom to a girl born in June 2018. Today I'd like to tell you why I use MARY by sticklett , how it makes my life as a mom easier and saves me from one or two sleepless nights!

Sleepless nights

Especially in the first few years of life, it's quite common for our little one to get sick, as her immune system is still developing. Even though this process is perfectly normal, I'm sure every mom understands when I say that on those nights when Ruby goes to bed with a slightly elevated temperature or even a fever , I hardly get a wink of sleep myself. At least, that's how it was before I met MARY.

I constantly placed my hand on Ruby's neck or forehead, checking her temperature . I checked if she was too cold or too warm, and out of fear of a febrile seizure, I measured her temperature hourly, or even more often. Quite frequently, my actions woke her up, making her sleep even more restless than she already was due to the fever. A vicious cycle!

What has changed as a result of using MARY?

To answer this question, I need to briefly explain how MARY works. It's incredibly easy to use. I attach the ladybug-shaped wearable to Ruby's clothing using a special Velcro system. This ensures the wearable stays close to Ruby's body and doesn't slip, even if she moves around while sleeping or lies on her stomach. The e-health wearable monitors Ruby's breathing, body temperature, and physical activity. I can see this information directly in my MARY by sticklett smartphone app, so I know how Ruby is doing at any time, no matter where I am. Is she sleeping peacefully, or is her fever rising? Is she lying on her back or her stomach? Is she breathing calmly, or is she startled awake frequently?

Some mothers might think when they see this list: “Oh God, if I know all this, I’ll get even more nervous.”, but I can tell you: The opposite is true!

Knowing that my smartphone will alert me at any time if there's anything wrong with Ruby's vital signs allows me to sleep much more peacefully. I no longer check her temperature hourly or jump at every little noise. Thanks to MARY, the anxiety and constant feeling of needing to monitor Ruby are gone. Because I know I'll be alerted immediately if my child needs me!

CONCLUSION

I highly recommend MARY by sticklett to all parents to regain peace of mind regarding their children's health. And calmer parents usually mean calmer children.

So, a win-win! ;-)
