Embrace Care is an affordable, non-electric and portable infant warmer to save the lives of premature and low birth weight new born babies suffering from hypothermia.
Embrace Care uses phase-changing material that maintains the infant's temperature at 37 degree Celsius. Keeping infants warm is essential for building their strength and resistance to diseases. Incorporated into a simple sleeking bag design, the warmer is portable and nonelectric, which makes it ideal for use in off-grid communities in developing countries. The design includes a pouch that can be heated with boiling water and then inserted into a special compartment in the sleeping bag. After heating, the pouch provides a constant warm temperature for up to 6 hours, after which it can be re-melted and re-used.
Preterm babies, or those born before 37 completed weeks of gestation, have the highest risk of complications and death. Up to 80% of all newborn deaths occur among babies, who are preterm, small for gestational age or both (Save the Children: State of the world's mother 2014" Report). Together with Embrace Nest, a similar warmer designed for hospitals and ambulances, the Embrace infant warmers are estimated to have helped over 150,000 babies in developing countries across the world.
The warmer keeps infants at a constant temperature without need for electricity or access to traditional incubators at hospitals.
The solution provides access to high-quality care to thousands of babies in settings that lack reliable electricity and adequate infrastructure.
Embrace Care is an affordable solution delivering life-saving care at a fraction of the cost of conventional equipment.
