$25 baby incubator for premature newborns in poor places from Boing Boing

 by 

From FORA TV, this video of a presentation by George Kembel, co-founder of the Stanford d.school, about an extremly low-cost incubator for premature newborns. The challenge: design better technology to help keep premature newborns alive. The reality: the most at-risk newborns are in rural areas, far away from hospitals where $25,000 incubators are housed. The solution: a $25 "incubator" with materials that can be heated up in a pot of boiling water.
