Apricity Solutions
OUR MISSION -
to improve maternal-child health in low- and middle-income countries through the development of devices and educational programs.
The Problem: Hypothermia
A million newborn infants in low- and middle-income countries die each year from complications related to hypothermia. Kangaroo mother care requires the 24/7 involvement of the mother, which may not always be an option.
Apricity's Solution
Apricity is developing a simple, safe, and inexpensive infant warming blanket. The blanket can be powered as a plug-in device, by a rechargeable battery, or by activation of a phase-change material. It can be used in medical facilities
lacking warming equipment, for infant transport and in rural areas lacking electricity.
