In a leading maternity hospital in Osaka—where approximately 900 babies are born each year—a small Czech innovation is quietly making a big impact. The BM-02 Baby breathing monitor, developed by Jablotron, helps ensure the safety of newborns by monitoring their breathing and immediately alerting medical staff if any irregularities are detected.
This simple yet highly effective device has become an important part of neonatal care in the hospital. But Osaka is just one example - Jablotron’s monitors are used in hospitals and clinics across Japan.
A Tiny Device, A Big Impact Across Japan
With a population of over 120 million people, Japan welcomes around 1 million newborns each year. That makes newborn safety a national priority. Since 2012, Jablotron has been contributing to this effort by supplying its Nanny monitors to a growing number of healthcare facilities throughout the country.
The Osaka hospital—where around 900 babies are born each year—is just one of many that rely on the BM-02 to protect their youngest patients. Its widespread adoption is a testament to the device’s reliability, ease of use, and ability to support hospital teams in critical moments.
What Makes It Special?
The BM-02 is designed to deliver fast and reliable alerts when a baby’s breathing stops or becomes irregular. Its quick response allows hospital staff to act immediately, which is crucial when every second counts.
The monitor is also used in incubators, as its sensor pad can be easily placed under newborns even in intensive care. This allows the BM-02 to support even the most fragile patients with the same level of reliability and care.
It has earned the trust of Japanese hospitals for over a decade, standing out for its dependability and simplicity. Medical professionals appreciate that the device is intuitive and doesn’t require complicated setup or maintenance.
Its widespread use across Japan reflects the growing confidence in this Czech technology. Many hospitals and clinics now rely on it as a standard part of newborn care.
Importantly, parents can also take the BM-02 home, using it to monitor their baby in a familiar environment. This continuity of care helps families feel safer and more confident as they begin life with their newborn.
Distributed by Experts
The Nanny monitor is distributed in Japan by Daiei, a respected company that has been active since 1951. Thanks to its long-standing presence in the maternity care sector, Daiei ensures reliable delivery and support for hospitals and families alike.
Beyond medical devices, Daiei also offers a broad range of maternity products under its Amethyst Maternity brand. This includes diapers, postpartum care items, and a variety of other essentials tailored to the needs of both mothers and babies.
Why It Matters
The partnership between Jablotron and Daiei is a great example of how international cooperation can lead to better care and greater peace of mind for thousands of families. The Baby breathing monitor isn’t just a device—it’s a symbol of trust, safety, and support during life’s most delicate moments.
