This was a group/ collaborative project for the BU Design Society working with the NHS to produce a product for new born babies in 'kangaroo Care'. The products aims to help babies sleep and also reduce the amount of recovery time through the use of playing comforting sound which can be recorded to the device as well as pre-recorded files. Within this project the product was in constant development and created under the strict requirements of the clients.
