Send us Fan Mail

James Roberts, co-founder and CEO of mOm Incubators, returns to Tech Tuesday almost four years after his first appearance, when the device was still in development. A lot has changed. The mOm Essentials is now CE marked and FDA cleared, in use across eight countries, and has reached roughly 18,500 patients, from NHS maternity wards to air raid shelters in Ukraine.

Daphna and James talk through what makes the system different: a bassinet sized footprint, one button operation, battery power that keeps warming through transport, and the ability to sit over a mother's bed. They discuss which babies are now staying with their parents instead of going to the NICU, the hypothermia admissions it is preventing, and how floor nurses have responded. James also shares the personal story behind the company and what mOm is building next.

mOm is now looking for US partners. Details at momincubators.com
