In an MIT + RISD collaboration, we designed, prototyped, and patented an infant pulse oximeter design. The Pelican is a pulse oximeter device designed especially for newborns in the developing world. With Design That Matters, this project raised over $20,000 on IndieGoGo.

19. HINGED JAWS
The two jaws hinged together
ensures easier alignment than
disposables or wrap-on
sensors. It also allows for easy
size adjustments.
TORSION SPRING
The jaw pressure is
controlled by the spring, not
by the user which is more
irregular.

20. The small bump on the exterior
of the upper jaw indicates
where the sensor is located on
the inner jaw and allows for
easier application.

23. SIMPLIFIED USER INTERFACE
The screen has one main display that shows
two of the most important values of a
pulse oximeter: blood oxygen saturation
(%) and the heart rate (bpm).
