Jones Day, Embrace Innovations
It is a sad fact that about one fifth of the roughly 20 million underweight and premature babies who are born each year die within a month of birth, many for lack of access to an infant incubator.
Embrace Innovations is a Silicon Valley-based social enterprise with a flagship product that has the potential to start to reverse that trend. Typically, infant incubators can cost up to $20,000. Embrace produces a low-cost alternative, which, at a mere $200, brings it within reach of some of the world’s poorest communities.
