Jane Chen developed a low-cost portable incubator for premature babies in developing countries and rural areas without reliable electricity. The incubator uses phase-change materials like wax that melt at human body temperature to keep the incubator warm for up to 12 hours without power. It will cost around $25 to produce, making it affordable for families in poverty. Chen's goal is to reduce infant mortality worldwide by providing a simple solution for safe and low-cost baby care in resource-poor environments.
