Conditions
BabySat requires a prescription and is intended for babies who could benefit from additional monitoring at home, under the supervision of a physician due to ongoing medical needs. Indications for BabySat often include babies with underlying Cardiac or Respiratory conditions.
If these or similar conditions are relevant to you, talk to your healthcare provider to see if BabySat is right for your family. To request a prescription, follow the simple steps below.
