Feel Baby Kicks From Afar: New Tech Connects Families

Zeiynab Kane's pioneering Adori monitor is set to revolutionize the pregnancy experience by allowing loved ones worldwide to feel a baby's movements in real time. Developed by Kane's company, Firsttuch, the device ensures that partners, family members, or even surrogates can share in this intimate connection, bridging physical and emotional distances.

The inspiration behind Adori stems from Kane's personal journey, including fertility concerns and the isolation experienced during the pandemic. Witnessing the stagnant evolution of pregnancy experiences, she envisioned a technology that could foster deeper bonds for all family structures, including those separated by surrogacy or demanding careers.

This two-part wearable system, with one component worn by the expectant parent and the other by a remote participant, transmits fetal movements instantly. With production commencing in January and market release anticipated by the end of 2026, the Adori monitor promises to enhance emotional presence and support mental well-being for expecting families globally.
