Description
The goal of this project is to design a durable and easy to maintain device that lowers core body temperature of asphyxiated newborns between 1800-4500 g to 33°C to provide therapeutic hypothermia.
I have seen the people that my device will affect, and have met with the practitioners that will ultimately use it. The tangibility of that encounter makes me want to be a more accountable and ethical engineer.
