Hillary Clinton mentions Embrace Infant Warmer

United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton mentions the Embrace Infant Warmer,  a project we worked on, during her address at the U.S.- India Higher Education Conference at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., October 13, 2011. Skip to 8:24 for the mention.

"A few years ago, a small group of American and Indian classmates at Stanford University decided to work together to build a better baby incubator. Four hundred and fifty premature and low-weight babies die every hour, and traditional baby incubators can cost as much as $20,000. So, the students developed the Embrace baby warmer, a portable incubator for use in poor and rural areas that doesn’t require electricity and only costs around $100. After graduating from Stanford, this Indian and American team moved to Bangalore to continue working on their idea and launched their project. And, it’s now in use in hospitals in India and saving babies’ lives. Their goal is to save 100,000 babies by 2013."
