Neonates are preterm babies who are less the four weeks old, these neonates are premature and have underdeveloped skin and lungs, so
they must be placed in an incubator that replicates the environment
of that in a mother's womb as they cannot sustain optimal body
temperature on their own.
Traditional incubators take are given the form of a box, they are very complicated to access the infants as they have multiple openings, which involves steps like taking the lid off and opening doors.
Activity and interactions Mapping in a neonatal care ward
Based on Ethnographic study conducted at various NICU wards in Chennai
Mapping detailed incubator and stakeholders interaction and contact points to understand activities and their complications.
Observations/Painpoints from Activity Mapping
Redefined brief :
To design a neonatal incubator that efficiently sustains infants' optimal skin temperature, which is also better accessible
and hygienic.
