Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Nanit is an Israeli-founded consumer health technology company headquartered in Tel Aviv with offices in New York City, founded in 2016. The company has developed a comprehensive smart baby monitoring platform that combines a high-definition overhead camera with proprietary computer vision algorithms and machine learning models to provide parents with actionable insights into their baby's sleep patterns, breathing, and developmental milestones.
The platform's core technology uses real-time computer vision to analyze baby movements, sleep positions, and breathing patterns without requiring any wearable sensors on the infant. Nanit's AI generates detailed sleep analytics including time-to-sleep, sleep duration, wake frequency, and sleep quality scores.

The company emphasizes bank-level data security and GDPR compliance for the sensitive health data it processes. Nanit's products are sold through major retailers including Target, Best Buy, and Amazon, and the company has built a strong direct-to-consumer brand with a loyal parent community.
