## Summary

**A federal study of home infant cardiorespiratory monitors** would direct the Department of Health and Human Services to assess whether devices that track heart rate, blood oxygen, and other vital signs can help prevent sudden unexpected infant death and to report findings to Congress within one year. - Families and infants at risk: The study would collect evidence on device effectiveness, performance, and accuracy to help families and clinicians weigh monitor use. - Health plans and insurers: The report must address criteria for medically appropriate coverage and offer recommendations on whether monitors warrant coverage by public or private plans. - Clinicians and policymakers: The review would examine new models of care to improve an infant's home sleeping environment and advise on integrating monitors into care delivery.
