Hugsy: Smart blanket for neonatal care, mimicking maternal scent, heartbeat, and hugging for newborns and premature babies during parental absence.
Hugsy, based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, develops a smart blanket designed to soothe newborns and premature babies by mimicking a mother's scent, heartbeat, and hugging sensation. The blanket absorbs the mother's smell during kangaroo care and incorporates a heartbeat module for realistic sound and vibration, primarily targeting parents of babies up to three months old, especially those transitioning premature babies from hospital to home. As of 2017, the company employed 4 permanent staff and approximately 6 on a project basis. Hugsy secured €200,000 in seed funding in June 2017 via Leapfunder, supplemented by €15,000 from an accelerator. The company also received the Gerard & Anton Award in July 2017. Co-founded by Sylvie Claes (CEO) and Jody van den Tillaart (COO), Hugsy was incorporated in March 2017.
