Prematurely born babies rely on highly intensive care and life support from the outset. It can take several weeks for their vital functions to have matured enough to be self-sustaining and for the baby to be released from the clinic. The Babyleo TN500 IncuWarmer has been designed to respond to these specific requirements in an impressive manner. It provides continuous optimal thermoregulation for neonates in open care and closed care as well as in transition. With the combination of three synchronised heat sources, this device protects little patients against loss of body heat, promoting their healthy development. At the same time, the well thought-out design offers clinicians and nurses ergonomically sophisticated comfort that makes their daily workflow easier. The hood design allows opening and closing with only one finger, while the large hand ports enable caregivers to easily reach the entire patient bed area. The IncuWarmer is variably height adjustable, allowing mothers to be closer to their babies, even when sitting in a wheelchair. A user-friendly, intuitive user interface and a plethora of automated options assist clinicians, nurses and parents to fully concentrate on the small patient and provide the care needed. With its balanced and emotionalising language of form, the Babyleo TN500 IncuWarmer creates a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for optimal care.
Statement by the Jury
The Babyleo TN500 IncuWarmer is an outstanding example of a highly successful interplay between design and technology. It not only supports doctors and nurses in their work but also promotes communication between a mother and her child in this first phase of its life. The clear and emotionalising design creates a pleasant atmosphere and reduces the complexity of such a device to the essential, yet fulfilling all requirements for accessibility, ergonomics and flexibility in an impressive manner.
