20,000,000 low-weight and premature
babies are born every year.
Most of these babies are born in developing countries and often in areas that don't have access to modern medicine. One of the biggest problems these babies face is hypothermia: they are unable to regulate their body temperature and cannot stay warm.

Embrace is a social enterprise that aims to give every child an equal chance for a healthy life through an innovative, low cost infant warmer. This product will help the 20 million low birth weight and premature babies born every year around the world, primarily in developing countries. Unlike traditional incubators that cost up to $20,000, the Embrace Infant Warmer costs less than 1% of this price, and works without a constant supply of electricity. The product will be launched in India in March 2011, and will subsequently scale globally. Embrace was founded by a team of engineers and MBAs from Stanford and Harvard University.
