Jane Chen Quotes
Technology is only an enabler, which can help achieve the intention of the person who is using it.
Chen, Jane. "A Warm Embrace That Saves Lives." TED, TED Conferences, Nov. 2009, www.ted.com/talks/jane_chen_a_warm_embrace_that_saves_lives.
Jane Marie Chen is the co-founder of Embrace, a social enterprise startup that aims to help the 15 million premature and low birth-weight babies born every year, through a low-cost infant warmer, that gives premature and low-birth-weight infants a better chance at survival. A premature baby lacks the ability to regulate its own body temperature. The Embrace Warmer uses a phase change material incorporated into a sleeping bag design to regulate the temperature of these babies, without the need for a constant supply of electricity. The device is being used in clinic and hospital settings around the world, with India as its primary market (India is home to 40% of the world's low-birth-weight and premature babies).
