More than 134 million people across the world need humanitarian assistance. Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF) is a large, international medical humanitarian organization, focused on providing care “to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe.” They operate in more than 70 countries providing life-saving treatment and spearheading efforts in both innovation and policy. MSF strives to provide high-quality, evidence-based treatment in extremely challenging, low-resource settings. Unconventional settings often require unconventional approaches, whether that’s developing new technologies and adapting existing ones, or finding new and better ways of working. Whatever the approach, the goal is always to facilitate MSF’s work saving lives and reducing suffering. Imperial Friends of MSF cordially invite you to the biggest humanitarian innovation conference of the year! Across the day, we will be exploring recent developments, current challenges and ways you can get involved through a range of short talks. Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to come up with your own life-saving solutions through a mini-hackathon and hear pitches from Makeathon participants who have developed prototypes for 3 key problems over the spring-term.

JAMES ROBERTS, MOM INCUBATOR FOUNDER The mOm Incubator is an inexpensive, electronically controlled, inflatable infant incubator designed and built to decrease the number of infant deaths. It offers a safe, medical grade environment for an infant to thrive in, whilst solving many of the problems of effectively incubating infants throughout the world. mOm was conceived by James Roberts during the final year of his university degree. Given the brief of 'design something that solves a problem', James learned from a TV documentary that the lack of infant incubators in Syria during the civil war was costing them an entire generation. James went about solving this problem and came up with the idea for the mOm Incubator.
