Our design process is depicted in the following diagram.

This design process is iterative, meaning that it is a process that involves repetition to bring forth different and beneficial outcomes for our project. Our design process is iterative through the constraints the group set, the alternative solutions, and testing (all as summarized below).

Constraints

    • Distance of the Cord 
    • Temperature of the Surgical Environment
    • Newborn’s inability to regulate heat

Solutions 

    • An insulating gel/jelly
    • A Non-Electric Insulating Blanket
    • Box Incubator
    • An electric  powered blanket
