Problem Statement
A US based Disruptive Incubator technology company was looking to address the challenge of Infant Mortality Rate in the underdeveloped and under-privileged areas. The end goal had been to implement a Cost-Effective Incubator to monitor & control Parameters such as Jaundice Light, Humidity, Intensity, Temperature etc., to address a Baby’s condition in real-time.
Outcome
Reduction in Infant Mortality Rate
Moral Boost for Baby’s Parents
