Questions, answered with clarity.

Goober is a connected newborn-monitoring platform developed by BostonMSD. It combines a wearable sensing module positioned against the sole of the infant's foot with a home hub, parent-facing software and remote-care visibility.

Goober is designed to support continuous newborn monitoring by bringing selected readings, trends, alerts and device status into a connected product ecosystem. The aim is to make information easier to follow across the wearable, home and software layers.

The sensing module is designed to be positioned against the sole of the infant's foot. The product architecture was developed around this placement and integrates optical sensing, electronics, enclosure design and charging within a compact wearable form.

No. Goober was developed as a complete connected ecosystem rather than a standalone sensor. Its architecture includes the wearable sensing module, a home hub and companion, parent-facing mobile software and a remote-care interface.

The application and dashboard concepts organise selected readings, trends, alerts and device status within a consistent visual system. Interfaces shown on the BostonMSD website are product demonstrations and are not intended for clinical use.

The home hub and companion form the local interaction and connectivity layer between the wearable sensing module and the connected software experience, supporting status visibility and communication across the ecosystem.

Chester is a wearable remote-patient-monitoring platform conceived for adults, older people and individuals who may benefit from longer-term physiological observation.

Chester brings together selected physiological monitoring, sleep and activity visibility, family and remote-care access, and structured alert and escalation workflows within one connected architecture.

Chester is conceived for adults, older people and users in longer-term monitoring contexts. The product concept includes independent living, post-event observation, cardiac and rehabilitation programmes and home monitoring programmes as intended application contexts.

Chester's concept architecture links wearable data with mobile access, remote visibility and escalation workflows. It is designed around continuity of information rather than isolated readings.

Yes. Family-facing access is part of Chester's connected-care concept alongside remote-care visibility, sleep and activity information and alert workflows.

Goober focuses on newborn monitoring and is built around sensing at the infant's foot. Chester focuses on longer-term remote physiological monitoring for adults and older people. They address different care contexts while sharing BostonMSD's connected-system approach.

At BostonMSD, connected care means designing sensing hardware, device connectivity, mobile software, dashboards, trends, alerts and remote visibility as parts of one product architecture instead of treating each layer as an isolated component.

BostonMSD combines wearable sensing, connected software and human-centred product design. The product philosophy emphasises continuous visibility, understandable information and experiences shaped around users, families and care professionals.

BostonMSD presents published international patent work connected to the Goober and Chester development programmes, together with international invention and design recognition. Supporting information is available on the Recognition page.
