Synopsis
The purpose of this project was to identify the key challenges in neonatal care in health care facilities. It aims to reduce infant mortality rate in developing regions of the world. A premature infant after birth needs to be kept thermoneutral at 37 degree celsius. But in developing countries access to an infant warmer is limited by geographical distances and cost.
The designed capsule is an infant warming device which being portable can be transported easily to facilities in remote areas. It uses convection heating for infant warming and shields the infant from the adverse effects of the surrounding environment. In this way it provides quality health care and ensures a healthy recovery for every infant.
