What does Warmilu mean?

Warmilu in true collaborative spirit was named by Professor Jason Daida. He inspired co-founder Grace Hsia to follow her heart and pursue engineering. Years later, when the team was seeking a name, he suggested “Warmilu.” When Grace asked what Warmilu meant, he responded:

“Parents and caretakers love their premature infants; unfortunately, love is not enough to save their lives. Warmilu’s warmth then becomes a physical embodiment of that love. So Warmilu means “Warm – I love you.”

Though Professor Jason Daida passed away 2 months later from cancer, his engineering and entrepreneurial spirit lives on in Warmilu’s name.

Our production facility in Ann Arbor, MI

All Warmilu products are made in Ann Arbor MI in our 2,041 sq. ft. production space (8186 Jackson Road Suite C, Ann Arbor, MI 48103). We house all the equipment we need to prep and process all the raw materials used to make all IncuBlankets and InstaWarmers in Michigan. We use all US made materials and do all of the manufacturing and assembly. Our passion to give back to the entrepreneurial ecosystem means that we frequently give tours onsite and welcome community members, organizations, students, nonprofits, and budding entrepreneurs to sublease space and visit to jumpstart their ideation, validation, custom R&D, and production.

What our customers are saying

I agree with everyone else that the product is a very good one. Actually it’s something whose time has come. What I like about it is that we first identified a key problem which we all agree is a major challenge among the preterms and newborns and then the product offers a solution directly which aims to solve the problem.

Dr Ademi Phinehas Ahoya Pediatrician, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital
The product is good. It is cost effective. And we can use money to buy more incubators and several babies would benefit. So to me the Warmilu IncuBlanket is a good product.

Susan Njenga Nurse, Kiambu District Hospital, Limuru Kenya & member of the Kenyan Paediatric Association
Warmilu’s IncuBlanket is quite innovative and very timely.
