Saving Little Lives Through Bempu TempWatch

Abstract

The TempWatch is a path-breaking innovation that successfully maps a simple alarm technology to monitor the complex unpredictable fluctuations in body temperatures which are crucial for the survival of newborns. This case is a classic example of articulating and identifying the core problem and suggesting a technological solution taking all the external and internal environmental factors into consideration. The case highlights how to identify the root cause of the problem, how founder’s education and experience shape their orientation, nature of innovation and level of complexity involved in the launch of a technology-based product, and the impact of external ecosystem like funding houses on the positioning of the social enterprise.
