Healthcare Design

Stephen Havey ’20 (Industrial Design) designed the Automated Breast Pump Cleaner for his capstone project. Below is his statement for the healthcare design project.

“New parents and caregivers in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are under constant stress about the health and safety of their newborn, leaving them with little energy and patience to thoroughly clean their breast pump parts after each use. An appliance designed for use by parents and caregivers in the NCU to wash and dry breast pump parts will significantly reduce stress and improve the family and staff experience in the hospital.”
