Researchers at the University of Bristol have developed an app called the Baby Sleep Planner to assess the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and improve the communication of safer sleep advice to families. The app has received positive feedback from professionals and families. SIDS is still a leading cause of infant mortality, particularly in deprived neighborhoods. The app helps professionals identify at-risk families and provide them with personalized sleep plans. It also aims to move away from traditional information-giving approaches towards more effective information exchange. Future plans include monitoring the impact of the app on reducing infant deaths.
