The "Package"
The "Package"
This bag (36x48x4) served to transport and store the HUGS system between data capture sessions with your baby.
We were aiming to make it (relatively) easy for families to get HUGS out of the way while keeping all the components together during the time it is in the home. Families, of course, will decide how to best store components between sessions.
When the HUGS team comes back to pick it up after you gather your baby's last month of data, we will re-secure and re-pack all the HUGS parts in it.
Scissors, tape measure, and onsies
Scissors, tape measure, and onsies
Look in the pouch on the side of the big bag by the handle. You will find:
Scissors to cut the zip ties that made sure the HUGS frame didn't twist (and break) during transport;
A tape measure for measuring your baby's arms at each HUGS session. Details follow.
Sleeveless (summer) onsies for your baby in two sizes: 3 and 6 months.
Use is optional. When your baby's upper extremity landmarks - shoulders, elbows, and wrists -- are most visible, the machine learning algorithm is most accurate.
When you dress your baby for interaction with HUGS, try to avoid bulky clothing with folds and wrinkling, such as pullovers or sweaters.
