They do have new technology like the Owlet and the Snooza that are supposed to help track
baby's breaths and heart rate and all those.
It's more so to help parents with their anxiety.

I think another thing too is with SIDS, a lot of people mistake it for suffocation, especially because the numbers are so skewed because they say that it is SIDS if they can't rule it out to be anything else.
