The Neonatal Asphyxia Project, referred to by its members as NAP, was founded in 2016 by a group of students with a passion for applying their Michigan educations to combat high infant mortality rates in underserved regions. They chose to focus on hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), more commonly referred to as neonatal asphyxia; a condition that is one of the leading causes of death for newborns. Research identified hypothermia therapy as the only medical intervention shown to improve infant brain function, and so they set a goal: to design a device that would safely and effectively apply the therapy to mitigate the complications associated with the condition. Since then, NAP has grown into a multidisciplinary team of students who continue to work to achieve this goal. We are currently designing and building different device prototypes.
