With the potential to reach millions of infants across the globe, Chen describes, “When we took the device and showed it to one mother, Sajatha, she started crying and said, ‘Maybe if I had this, I could have a baby,’ Hearing something like that, that we have the power to help people save lives, is incredible.” [ more ]
