A Canadian startup designed a LED wearable that could be a helpful aid for first-time parents, when it comes to tending their child.

The cute wearable named Hoko has an appearance similar to a feline stuff animal that is connected to temperature and humidity sensors. LEDs packed in the stuffed animal emit five distinctive colors to indicate whether a baby is too hot, cold or humid.

If a child is too hot, the LEDs in Hoko will blink red, blue for coldness, yellow if things are getting a too humid in a kids shirt, and white if all is well. If the device runs out of batteries, it will change into green.

Although, the company has a functioning prototype not many details are given on the lifetime of the product or how parents can swap the batteries. The company’s Kickstarter campaign reached only CA $6,768 (US $4,862.42) out of its CA$ 60,000 goal before it closed on Nov, 25, 2015. The company is still working on ways to finance the production to bring it to the masses, and further updates on the product can be found on their Facebook account.
