Exceptional Opportunitie s

Examples of ideas Neonatal monitoring is challenging! There is a neonatal vital sign monitoring mat!?

We are going to use artificial dermis for burn care

Inserting iv cannula in children is difficult! I heard about Accuvein (vein viewer).

We need rapid diagnostic test to identify viral or bacterial infection!

Neonatal Vital Sign Monitoring Mat • Low cost • Non invasive • Simple and easy to use

HR RR Temp

Incubator for disaster zones

(Temperature & humidity control, Phototherapy) • Low cost (380 euro) • Compact • Low power (car battery can be used)

Can 3D printer add value to MSF?
