Every year over four million infants in the developing world die within a month of birth. Half of these newborns would survive if given a warm and clean environment in which to grow stronger. In developing countries, not only is there limited access to modern, high-tech incubators, but a lack of infrastructure and replacement parts render such devices worthless.
Design that Matters' goal is to develop a newborn incubator for the developing world that takes advantage of locally-available automobile parts, the familiar mechanical language of automobile design, and globe-spanning auto-industry supply chains to create a context-appropriate product that can be locally maintained.

Innovation is Everyone´s Responsibility and Why Innovation Matters
Here you get my slides from a recent presentation in Turkey where I was asked to provide perspectives on innovation through two important questions / lenses:
Why innovation matters? My key message is that innovation matters if your company wants to stay relevant – and survive. It is that simple. Just consider this piece of information:
At the current churn rate, 75% of the S&P 500 firms in 2011 will be replaced by new firms entering the S&P500 in 2027. There is so much change and it is happening so fast. Innovation can mean many things, but it is a general understanding that it helps you fight irrelevance and helps you drive change rather than becoming a victim of it.
Innovation is everyone´s responsibility. I work with innovation on three levels; incremental, radical and “in between”. The latter is often the most relevant because it can really change things and have a strong impact while companies have a good chance of succeeding with this with the right setup, processes and people. Radical or disruptive innovation is highly desirable, but it is also very difficult to achieve. It requires a lot of luck as well as the right framework and conditions for this luck to happen. Very few organizations succeeds here.
While everyone in an organization should contribute to incremental innovation, I don´t think everyone should work with radical or “in between” innovation – at the same time that is. Most people just have to focus on the getting their daily jobs done. However, every employee should be given an opportunity to contribute to radical and “in between” innovation through corporate programs that could be based on the concept of intrapreneurship, incubators, accelerators or something similar.
When it comes to getting people to understand that everyone actually can contribute to all three levels of innovation, I like to use the Ten Types of Innovation framework by Doblin as it is a simple and visual concept that can open the eyes of the “unusual suspects” when it comes to innovation contribution.
Well, check my slides and let me know what you think. I am of course open for discussing a session or talk near you :-)

How to hire a CINO that can build lasting innovation capabilities.
The way businesses need to organize and behave has fundamentally shifted. Across industries, companies, and organizational functions, we have heard many of the world’s most innovative companies echo the same challenge: businesses must urgently embrace a more nimble and entrepreneurial approach in order to stay competitive. We call this challenge of how big companies can leverage scale while staying innovative “big entrepreneurship.” The Rising Billion is one of five pieces in our report, Big Entrepreneurship, aimed at deconstructing some of the complex challenges around big entrepreneurship and provide actionable insights for business leaders.
This report was created by Fahrenheit 212, a global innovation strategy and design firm. We define innovation strategies and develop new products, services, and experiences that create sustainable, profitable growth for our clients. We challenge the belief that innovation is inherently unreliable and have spent the last decade designing the method, building the model, and assembling the minds to make innovation a predictable driver of growth for our clients' businesses.

Many people assume that they will just be able to hop into a car, and suddenly they will be an expert at driving a car. Actually, some of driving a car is basic common sense, but that attitude is what lures people into complacency and ends up being rather dangerous

Electronic pills are used to detect minor problems, which cant be detect by doctors in normal circumstance, electronic pills are swallowed by the patient which moves through gastro tract and measure the changes inside the body, elctronic pills are connected through computer by wireless technology, it is instantaneous and accurate, but due to its expensive costing it is not available in every country and due to its size its diffucult to swallow by small babies, hence still miniature size is necessary and made available in every country.
Embrace Warmer
Embrace Warmer How It WorksA steady supply of electricity is lacking in many hospitals in developing countries, adding to problems of limited resources and overcrowding. Premature infants, lacking the ability to maintain their temperature, must be provided warmth for them to survive.
The Embrace Warmer is a low-cost solution that maintains the body temperature of premature and low-birth-weight babies at the desired level even with intermittent access to electricity.
The Embrace Warmer can also be used for transporting hypothermic newborns.

Editor's Notes
PARTS: AVAILABILITY VS COST -- 1987 auto ventilator assembly is $500, fan alone is $80 BUT robust, global distribution -- computer fan is >$2 BUT fragile, local availability? PARTS -- safety: rated or evaluated for new use? “warranty not applicable for use out of context” -- performance: lightbulb is optimized for LIGHT, not heat. -- lifespan: battery cycles (car vs incubator), product life in general LOCAL MAINTENANCE: -- local maintenance isn’t a cure-all: what if our entrepreneurial fixers use the wrong parts? -- can we make the controller display codes like a photocopier (see cartoon printed inside for troubleshooting)
Medical device supply chain (incubator as example). -- Lots of links in the supply chain can say "no," no single group can say yes. In other words, individual stakeholders are necessary but not sufficient. Who will choose, use, pay the dues, approve? (student presentations will provide more detail) -- Public vs private health care -- "BOP" and "emerging markets" typically translates as products for the middle- and upper-class >> very high-end private NICUs in every country visited >> western device mfgs target high margin products like MRI scanners, no incentive to compete with cheap Chinese mfg on the low-margin stuff
