Frequently asked questions about MARY by sticklett

How does MARY work?

How easy is it to use in everyday life?

Why does MARY work with her own clothes?

Our research showed that close physical contact and the position of the measuring device on the body determine the accuracy and reliability of the measured values.

Attachments using adhesive strips and straps are not suitable for children and are unthinkable for us. Attaching to traditional clothing or diapers that loosely fit the body is too prone to errors.

Based on this achievement, we chose the approach in combination with sleepwear and underwear that includes a special cut construction so that the measured values ​​provide a high level of accuracy and the clothing remains suitable for everyday use, ecological, washable, breathable and comfortable to wear. The ergonomically shaped measuring device, disguised as a beloved ladybug, fits hygienically and child-friendly on clothing, sits and stays close to the body in the correct position and ensures reliable functionality.

Is the corresponding clothing available in different sizes & designs

  • Yes, the accompanying clothing is available in sizes 50-140 and grows with the child across multiple sizes thanks to clever growth features.
  • In our online shop, you'll find various models such as bodysuits, pajamas, and undershirts in a variety of designs and colors. All items are made from high-quality organic cotton (GOTS, OEKO-TEX® Standard).



Is the sensor comfortable for the baby?

Yes, soft, light and barely noticeable – even when you sleep.



Is MARY a concern because the sensors measure directly on the chest?

No - The ladybug contains medically certified sensors.

The ladybug sends data via Bluetooth Low Energy (Class 3 - a low-radiation and medically accepted technology) to the transceiver station, which then communicates with the smartphone via a secure mobile internet connection - no matter where you are.

MARY has been carefully examined and tested and deemed safe for human health. The radiation emitted by the ladybug is much lower than that emitted by conventional Wi-Fi cameras and baby monitors.

My child sleeps very restlessly. Can the ladybug fall while moving?

No.

The beetle will hold firmly to the garment if it is properly attached.

I'm afraid my child will start playing with the ladybug and take it off his clothes. What can I do?

Mary should generally not be used as a toy. Since Mary was developed to be very child-friendly, she naturally entices them to play. We have therefore come up with a little story that can be lovingly explained to the child, Mary. This story with Mary is delivered to you as a small picture book and can be read aloud during the bedtime story ritual. Mary is supposed to be a little ladybug friend for children who looks after them at night or when they are not feeling well and calls their parents immediately when they need her. We tested the story with many children. In our testing, the children were happy to have Mary looking after them and Mary voluntarily stayed on the garment.

MARY is suitable for babies and toddlers from birth up to about 10 years of age – i.e. until the immune system is fully developed.

Mary has been checked and tested and found not to be harmful to health. The radiation emitted by the ladybug is much lower compared to conventional baby monitors on the market.

Are you a helicopter mom or dad if you want to use MARY?

No.

We developed Mary based on our own problem. I, Michaela Schicho - founder and inventor of Mary - would not describe myself as a helicopter mom, but rather a practical person. We live in a technological age in which technology constantly accompanies us in everyday life and also makes it easier.

We thought a lot with Mary and, together with parents, pediatricians and medical research institutes, selected really relevant fields of application in which Mary is helpful to parents and children and can provide meaningful support in the often challenging everyday lives.

Mary is not intended to stage total surveillance, but simply offers useful support in everyday parental care.

Ersetzt MARY by sticklett ein Babyphone?

MARY ist kein klassisches Babyphone mit Ton oder Kamera, kann aber in vielen Alltagssituationen mehr leisten.

Über die Erkennung von Bewegungs- und Ruhephasen kann MARY jedoch anzeigen, ob ein Kind schläft oder munter wird und Eltern entsprechend informieren.

Viele Familien nutzen MARY by sticklett deshalb als ruhige Alternative oder Ergänzung zum Babyphone: Ohne Geräusche, ohne Bildschirm, aber mit Überblick über den Verlauf in der App.
