SPREADING THE WARMTH TO PREEMIES AND HOMELESS

(NOVEMBER 14, 2014) ANN ARBOR, MI - 2014 is the year of change! The Warmilu team explores different markets. One they explored was warming the homeless with the same technology used to warm preemies.

“After a number of models and tests and prototypes designed with user feedback, Hsia and her team created a heating pack from inexpensive materials that could provide warmth without electricity or grid power and was easy to recharge. They built a warming blanket that could be used specifically for preterm infants, which they ran through pilot clinical trials in Bangalore India in early 2013. They hope to have the infant warming blanket on the market with appropriate FDA clearance.”
