(light piano music)

I'm Darby Schumacher, I'm 18 years old.

I'm from Chattanooga, Tennessee and I am

creating a safer and healthier

world for parents and newborns.

My friend's son died before his

eight month birthday, they didn't

know the cause at the time but found out

that it's SIDS, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

That's when I really ventured into this

idea of an alert system that will update

parents tracking vital signs in babies.

I'm very prepared to venture into this field

'cause I did eight years of science research

and worked alongside NANOTEC researchers

to create a product that I was really proud of

and I really got into the idea of me being

an entrepreneur and venturing into an area

where I can really mold something

and make something and change something.
