A cranial orthosis includes a sensor to monitor one or more conditions of an infant wearing the cranial orthosis. The cranial orthosis is preferably contoured to match the curvature of the fronto-temporal, parietal and occipital areas of an infant's cranial vault to provide protection against the acquisition of postural cranial deformities as a result of the infant's sleeping in the supine position. The orthosis is designed to be of universal fit, as determined by the infant's fronto-occipital head circumference (FOC) measurement. The interior dimensions of the orthosis can be enlarged to accommodate growth of the infant's head without requiring replacement. The sensor may detect oxygen saturation, pulse, temperature, or any other measureable condition or combination of conditions. The system includes an alarm that is triggered when a sensed condition crosses a selected threshold level.
