Otter is a newborn conductive warmer designed specifically to allow rural hospitals with limited resources and inexperienced staff to successfully treat premature and low birthweight newborns who are especially vulnerable to hypothermia.

Design that Matters asked SchmietaPlus to evolve an existing concept that needed to be easy to clean, durable, and that features a clear and intuitive interface.

Plenty of volunteer designers, engineers, and human factor specialist have been contributing to this project before us. Find out more here: design that matters/otter
