Low cost neonatal thermic crib for home use (BioCrib)

The purpose of this work is to present a theoretical design of a low-cost thermal crib that will have the basics functions to maintain a thermoneutral environment, preventing the infant from losing weight due to heat loss. This design is focused on providing a service for infants who have reached a certain weight and fulfill the necessary functions autonomously without the need for a high-tech incubator or radiant warmer. In this way, the infant can be discharged with a weight of 2500g, and with the use of the thermal crib, heat losses will be avoided, which in addition to causing weight loss can cause hypothermia in infants. Also, the design seeks to help hospitals reduce costs in the acquisition of radiant heaters or complex incubators so that the infant can stop using one of these equipment reducing costs for stays that affect the state and hospitals. On the other hand, Ecuador is a developing country that lacks sufficient resources to design complex structures for the care of newborns. Due to this problem, many infants die all over the world. For this, the crib can be used both in the hospital and at home. In the hospital, fewer graves infants will be able to use the thermic-crib, and the complex incubators will be used for infants who have a serious condition and who need to be constantly monitored. In the house, the crib will have a basic use system which will facilitate its use.
