Getting Valuable Feedback from Doctors
David shows AdaptAir to ICDDR,B doctors.
Dr. Chisti with Ale Palandjoglou discussing the CAD 3D model
Dr. James underscores the importance of reusability
Dr. Hasan looking closely
Dr. Chisti with Dr. Sanjoy Kumer Dey
Curious ICDDR,B doctors got hands on the prototypes right away
Getting Valuable Feedback from Nurses and Mothers
Ale and David explained the benefits of Bubble CPAP at MATLAB
Nurse at MATLAB ICDDR,B talking about the importance of keeping a good seal
Mothers were not afraid to put AdaptAir on their noses
Nurses at LAMB Hospital immediately recognized how it was used
Finding local materials / suppliers for the straps
About 10 meters away from the front gate of LAMB Hospital we found a supplier with elastic straps
Ale sketching some straps for the tailor
Walked 40 meters and found a tailor who manufactured one head-strap for us
