Learn more about the team who have collaborated closely to develop the Goldilocks Suit.






The Goldilocks Suit is a new baby monitoring system that blends the biomedical expertise of Shem Richards with his wife Laura’s passion for seeing people nurture and grow. Their idea was spawned from their own personal experiences as parents, raising their newborn babies and encountering all the typical parenting problems everyone faces.
So by combining their life passions and using the most cutting-edge technology available, they developed the Goldilocks Suit to help parents understand what their babies are feeling, to monitor things like breathing or temperature and remove any doubts with all the information being tracked 24/7 via an easy to use App.

“What attracted me to the Goldilocks project was both the simplicity and the contemporary nature of the project. What Shem articulated in a very short space of time made sense, you could see the need for it, and you can see the market for this kind of product. The information given to parents is not extensive, and data is clearly what will assist parents with making better decisions – so Goldilocks fills a gap in the market, and also socially provides a really desirable outcome – helping parents be better parents!
The tech involved with Goldilocks is also the kind that when you are told of the project, intuitively makes sense. Generally in a tech age that we now live in, we expect data at our fingertips, the ease of carrying a mountain of information on our mobile phones, and yet no-one had seemingly solved or provided a solution for the issue of data on your child – even though this was an issue that was universally felt by so many.
Shem and the team that he has put together are professional, going about things the right way, and it was a no-brainer to lend my support to the venture”
