Parisodhana has innovated an Air activated Self-heating blanket for transporting pre-term babies from remote areas to hospitals in a safe manner. No electricity or hot water or any external heat source required. This enables keeping the ambient temperature for the baby at required level for upto 8 hours in a controlled manner and thus prevent hypothermia, which causes death of around 1 million pre-term babies every year.
With WIN Foundation support, the self heating blanket has been tested in Gujarat, Telangana and Maharashtra, with over 200 trials. Encouraging results and feedback from medical practitioners, in turn, has resulted in support by others to fund more trials.
