Redefining Neonatal Care with Nature
Incubeetor leverages the thermal properties of beeswax to provide affordable, reliable, and portable life support for newborns in low-resource settings.
Bridging the Gap in Neonatal Survival
Millions of premature babies are born each year in developing regions where access to standard electric incubators is limited or unreliable due to power outages. Hypothermia is a silent killer in these environments.
The Incubeetor is designed to address this critical gap. By utilizing a phase-change material—beeswax—it maintains a stable, life-saving temperature for hours without continuous electricity. It serves a dual purpose: a stationary care unit for rural clinics and a safe transport incubator for ambulances or transfers.
Low Energy
Minimal power required to recharge thermal banks.
Affordable
Significantly lower cost than traditional incubators.
The Power of Beeswax
Why we chose nature's perfect insulator for our thermal regulation system.
Phase Change Material (PCM) Technology
Beeswax has a melting point of approximately 62°C to 64°C. However, when specially formulated, it can act as a highly effective Phase Change Material. The Incubeetor uses a proprietary beeswax blend that stores heat energy when melted and releases it slowly as it solidifies.
Unlike water which cools rapidly, or chemical gels which can be hazardous if leaked, beeswax is organic, locally sourceable in many regions, and provides a gentle, consistent radiative heat profile.
Designed for Versatility
Rural Clinic Care
In remote health centers with intermittent electricity, Incubeetor acts as a primary care unit. The removable heating cassette can be "charged" (heated) via solar heater or boiling water, then inserted into the unit to provide hours of warmth.
- Easy to sanitize surfaces
- Transparent viewing dome
Safe Transport
Transporting a fragile neonate to a larger hospital is often where hypothermia occurs. Incubeetor's compact form factor and battery-free thermal retention make it the perfect transit companion in ambulances or private vehicles.
- Shock-absorbing chassis
- Lightweight ergonomic handles
Vision for Global Health Impact
Our goal isn't just to build a device; it's to build a sustainable ecosystem. We are partnering with local NGOs to manufacture the Incubeetor chassis using locally available materials, empowering communities while saving lives.
