Evoz Baby Monitor Set to Ship on October 4th – First Look at the ABC Kids Expo

Tomorrow at the ABC Kids Expo in the Kentucky Exposition Center we are offering a first look at the Evoz Baby Monitor that begins shipping on October 4th.  We have received amazing feedback, and a great deal of data during the beta program for the Evoz baby monitoring service, and the number one request is for a baby monitor that supports the Evoz service. We are proud to announce the availability of the Evoz Monitor, lowering the barrier to entry for parents to get the only baby monitor with unlimited range, smart alerts when baby cries and sleep data.

With Evoz, busy, active parents are able to listen to their baby anytime, anywhere, right from their iPhone or any web browser with a touch of a button. Simply place the Evoz Wi-Fi Baby Monitor near your baby, and your iPhone becomes the receiver.  Set alerts however you want them – txt, email or even calls.

We will be at the ABC Kids Expo offering a first look of the Evoz Monitor and Service and a great show special – drop by booth #3511 in the new products section and ask for a demo! Once we connect your iPhone up to a monitor, you’ll be able to listen in from anywhere on the show floor, outside the convention center, in your hotel room, when you get back home… you get the idea. If you want, we will even play some great baby cries so you can see the alerts.

Not only can you listen to your child from anywhere you have cellular coverage, Evoz proactively sends a text, email or calls you when your baby cries. The amazing technology developed by Evoz understands the difference between crying and background noises and alerts parents when it really matters.

Parents can pre-order your Evoz Monitor now at www.myevoz.com/pre-order. Pricing for the Evoz Wi-Fi Baby Monitor with Basic Evoz Service starts at $120. Pre-ordered monitors will ship on October 4th and become immediately available for purchase in the Evoz Store at http://myevoz.com/subscriptions. Retailers can purchase evoz at wholesale prices with great quantity discounts.

We are proud to make it even easier for parents to benefit from the Evoz monitor and service – dedicated to providing state of the art wellness technology to active parents.

Evoz Open Beta Gives Parents A New Baby Monitor With Unlimited Range

Today we are launching the open beta for the Evoz baby monitoring service, which is now available for download in the Apple iTunes store. Movie Night? Traveling? At work? Evoz lets busy, active parents listen to their baby anytime, anywhere, right from their iPhone with a touch of a button.

In order to use Evoz, you will need to install Evoz on two iOS devices. One will be the receiver and the second needs to connect to WiFi in order to be the monitor.

You will also need a baby.

When parents are on date night, traveling or at work, Evoz will proactively send texts, emails or phone calls when their baby is crying. It also understands the difference between a cry and background noise. Evoz collects information that lets parents better understand the health and wellbeing of their children.

As one of our early users, you’ll be helping us scale and define the service. We’re looking forward to seeing how you use the app, hearing about what you like and taking suggestions for future features. To send us questions or feedback, and to find out more information about the beta program simply visit www.myevoz.com

Beta participants will receive two free weeks of the premium service, including unlimited streaming anywhere in the world, unlimited email and texts, data collection and an exclusive look at new features. After the two-week period, if you love Evoz, the premium service will cost $6.99 per month (you’ll still be able to listen from anywhere for 30 minutes a day at no charge).

I am proud that Evoz brings state of the art health and wellness technology to active parents. We look forward to building a community of passionate parents in the coming months.

Word To Your Mother – Mobile Moms Are Early Tech Adopters

This blog post was written by Avishai for 500 Startups blog on monther’s day 2011. Check out the full version:  http://bit.ly/mFX6qM

Two of the biggest consumer tech trends today are mobile connectivity and personalized data collection. Moms, in particular, are embracing both in record numbers to monitor the health and wellness of their families. Forget about targeting millennials and young men – if you want to see how rapidly new tech can “cross the chasm,” deliver Mom some cutting edge health hacks.

As smartphones continue to gain market share – especially with working moms – a new generation of companies will deliver technological solutions that target the health needs of these “always connected” individuals. From the FitBit, to the newly constructed health tech centers in Best Buy stores, to NikePlus, the confluence of mobile computing, real-time data collection and personal wellness has resulted in all sorts of mobile health solutions in the consumer tech space.

One of these solutions is Evoz – a baby monitor that tracks and analyzes real time baby data and connects parents to personalized services such as sleep consultants, nannies and more. The concept of a baby monitor with unlimited range coupled with real time, personal baby data has clearly struck a chord with people. After Evoz was reviewed on TechCrunch, we had over 1800 people sign up for our private Beta program. Part of that is timing. I’m not sure this idea was ready for prime-time 24 months ago. But now parents – and moms in particular – are embracing new tech to help them raise happy, healthy children. They trust mobile solutions that collect and personalize data securely – and they are ready to pay for these services.

Part of the appeal of these devices is that they give us insight into our habits and ourselves that we did not have before. More than counting calories, new devices give us more complete pictures of who we are, how we live, and how we can improve our lives. Turning raw data into personal recommendations is part of “the new information age,” Vivek Wadhwa recently wrote about. This remarkable paradigm shift is already happening. In the past, new parents turned to parenting books and websites searching for answers about their baby’s health. In the near future, the solutions to their particular parenting problems will find them automatically.

Today’s moms are literate, tech savvy and ready for advanced solutions. As a father myself, I have a personal stake in creating a meaningful mobile parenting experience. Many other people involved in the Evoz project also have children and we are all intent on building a state-of-the-art monitoring service to help optimize digital parenting. I firmly believe that mobile technology will give parents new ways to stay connected to their newborns. Parents want to feel connected to their babies and children and the market for these solutions represents an enormous opportunity. To again quote Professor Wadhwa, “the growth is exponential, and the innovation opportunities are bigger than Silicon Valley can imagine they are.”
