How do you decide on a single direction when you all have different interests? Taking from the initiatives of IDEO and their Post-it Note obsession we went about generating potential project directions and their links to each other. These included ideas surrounding prenatal, Antenatal and postnatal care, such as the Embrace project (below), aimed at protecting babies from low temperatures leading to hypothermia. Pregnancy-related Education As many women giving birth are unable to reach a qualified health practitioner, there can be fatal consequences. One way of tackling this issue is in education. In educating soon-to-be mothers about how to give birth in a hygienic way, the risk of a fatal incident would be significantly reduced. There are many other issues surrounding pregnancy in low-income countries, these are just a couple of the many avenues we looked down. This project should be heavily primary research based and as such, we did not select this project. Interviewing, testing of designs, etc. would best be carried out in the selected countries. For more research we found on this topic follow this link to the a page of links and notes.
