Incubator Enables MRI Scans on Preemies for Preventing Birth Asphyxia.
December 1, 2005 — Designed by a team of doctors, nurses, and engineers, a specially designed incubator allows premature babies to receive MRI scans to assess their health. The scans can measure many indicators, such as the levels of various metabolic substances in the body, to reveal whether or not a baby may have developmental problems, enabling parents to take therapeutic steps sooner for their children.

Research for an interdisciplinary live project by a group of Kingston University MA Design Students [Spatial, Product, Fashion, and Creative Economy] aiming to extend how design can influence neonatal units and care of premature babies. Working alongside scientific and design research, in conjunction with special care baby charities and neonatal units.
