Owlet Dream Duo 3 is the most medical-minded system on this list. It combines the Dream Sock, which Owlet describes as an FDA-cleared, medical-grade pulse oximeter, with the 2K Dream Sight camera. The sock reports live pulse rate, oxygen levels, wakings and sleep trends, and Owlet says it was clinically evaluated for SpO2 accuracy across all skin tones. A bedside base station glows green when readings are in range, so you do not have to keep checking a phone. The camera adds night vision, cry, sound and motion alerts, two-way talk and room temperature and humidity tracking. The box includes 4 fabric socks for babies from 1 to 18 months and 6 to 30 lbs, and the sock battery lasts up to 16 hours. The downsides are cost, at $379.99, a sock that needs charging and is outgrown at 18 months, and no dedicated video screen. We compared documented features and published prices.
