AWARDS
2024 Design Engineering Selected Innovation Recognition (DESIRE)
Imperial College London
Received for providing an innovative solution to a forecasted future problem. The project, titled " TECA " (Thermal Evaporative Cooling Aid for Dignified Shelters), focuses on using local resources to develop low-tech cooling solutions for humanitarian aid shelters in Northern Africa.
2023 Design Engineering Selected Innovation REcognition (DESIRE)
Imperial College London
This award recognizes the project that is deemed to be the most innovative and novel within the cohort. The project: Mamilla is a device designed to encourage, empower and educate new mothers to pursue breastfeeding.
It is a handheld device that the user places over their breast and makes adjustments to learn about the essential features of an optimized latch and what it feels like. The first is ample contact between the baby's chin and the lower part of the mother's breast. The second is when the nipple is positioned at the junction of the hard and soft palate in the baby's mouth. Our device aims to mimic these features using sensors that, when activated trigger pumping which imitates a baby sucking. The intention is to take the pressure off mothers to get it right the first time, to guide them about how to breastfeed comfortably and to give them the confidence to continue to breastfeed.
