Jane Chen developed a device called the "Thermpod" while studying at Stanford to keep low-birth-weight babies warm in hospitals in developing countries where electricity often fails. The Thermpod provides four to six hours of heat from a single 30-minute charge and looks like a miniature sleeping bag. After a successful pilot in India, Chen's company Embrace struck a global distribution deal with GE Healthcare to distribute the Thermpod more widely. Chen is now working on a hot-water-powered product that can keep newborns warm without needing electricity.

2. Chen was pursuing an M.B.A. at Stanford in 2008 when she enrolled in the
multidisciplinary "Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability," the same
innovative class that spawned the D.light solar lamp company. There she teamed up
with grad students in computer science, electrical engineering and material science to
develop a device that keeps low-birth-weight babies warm even when the electricity in
hospitals and clinics fails. The "Thermpod" looks like a miniature sleeping bag and
provides a lifesaving four to six hours of heat on a single 30-minute charge. The group
raised funding from Echoing Green, a New York City-based outfit that makes grants to
social entrepreneurs, and the family-oriented David & Lucile Packard Foundation. After
a successful pilot program in India this past spring, Embrace struck a global distribution
deal with GE Healthcare. Next up: a hot-water-powered product that doesn't require
electricity to warm newborns.
