Product Description

Incubaby is a low-cost solution to the condition of hypothermia in infants developed by a team of engineering students at Rice University. Hypothermia, a dangerous condition in which the baby’s temperature falls below 36 degrees Celsius (96.8 degrees Fahrenheit), is quite common in infants. The innovation works by increasing the core temperature of the body of the infants using electronics, shielded by double-wall plywood panels. The prototype can be manufactured and assembled locally in developing countries. The prototype consists of two boxes: one to hold the baby and one to hold the electronics. The students plan to ship the final prototype of the IncuBaby incubator to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Malawi.
