Flagship · Neonatal Transport Warmer

NeoNest, safety from the first breath.

A low-cost, locally manufacturable transparent infant warmer for Ugandan health facilities. Our patented design is a warmer made from a water jug, roof insulation, motorcycle guard railing, and shaped by the nurses, physicians and midwives who use it.

01

Locally manufacturable

Every part sourced within Uganda. No waiting on imports, no exotic tooling. If a piece needs replacing, it's on the shelf down the road.

02

Patented, human-centered design

Our patented approach was refined with Ugandan OBGYNs, ambulance workers, NICU nurses and community health workers.

03

Cost-effective, ward-ready

Built to be affordable for the facilities that need it most. Public, private, urban and rural.

Cost & status

A fraction of the cost of an imported infant warmer.

A single NeoNest unit costs roughly USD 100 (about UGX 380,000) to produce today. Compare that with imported neonatal warmers and incubators typically priced between USD 3,000 and USD 15,000. NeoNest is currently entering a clinical pilot with Ugandan health facilities, and is not yet sold on the open market. Facilities interested in the pilot or in future orders are welcome to request a quote below.

Regulatory & safety

Where we stand today, honestly.

NeoNest is a patented device currently in clinical pilot with Ugandan health facilities, conducted under research ethics approval and with clinical oversight from partner hospitals. It is not yet certified for open-market sale.

Our design and bench testing follow the thermal-safety principles of the IEC 60601 family of standards for infant warming devices, and we are working towards National Drug Authority (NDA) medical device registration and UNBS certification in Uganda. We will publish pilot outcomes and certification milestones as they are completed, and we are happy to share our current testing documentation with any facility that asks.
