Dad Praises Simple Device That Saved His Son's Life: "We Caught It Before Any Side Effects"

New parents will do anything for their child's safety, but with tons of expensive devices on the market, it's almost impossible to know what is worth it and what isn't. For new parents Ryan Golinski and Kate Crawford, however, the Owlet Smart Sock was a life-saving purchase and was most definitely "well worth the money."

The smart sock tracks a baby's heart rate and oxygen levels while they are asleep and notifies the parents or guardians if there are any abnormalities. When Ryan's 4-week-old son's Owlet started alerting them at 3 a.m., they thought "it was a false alarm because it said his heart rate was reading 286," he explained in a Facebook post.

But after learning that this was by no means a false alarm, the first-time parents are eternally grateful for the device.

"We have spent the last 24+ hours at the hospital for something called SVT, and we caught it before any side effects," Ryan explained. "So everything is going well now and his heart is still extremely healthy. If we didn't catch it as early as we did with that sock, his heart wouldn't have been able to handle it and we could be dealing with something a lot more serious."

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a condition causing an unusually fast heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute, and because their baby was wearing the Owlet in the middle of the night, Ryan and Kate were notified of their son's accelerated heart rate before it was too late.

"I highly recommend new parents invest into this sock, it's well worth the money," Ryan closed his note.
