6 P: 555.123.4568 F: 555.123.4567 123 West Main Street, New York, NY 10001 www.rightcare.com | IncuVive in Uganda We plan to follow a capital equipment model. The National Medical Store will be our main purchaser of our MIS; however, we also plan to sell to NGO and private hospitals. Each unit will be priced at $50 after subsidizations Strategic Partnerships Partnerships with NGOs such as UNICEF, ECHO, and the Gates Foundation will help offset production costs and help sustain a low margin operation. We will utilize partner distribution channels in order to quickly establish operations in new markets.

7 P: 555.123.4568 F: 555.123.4567 123 West Main Street, New York, NY 10001 www.rightcare.com | Expansion and Distribution Our main source of income will come from market expansion. Our device will be assembled locally and transported by a third party. After setting up distribution in Uganda we plan to immediately expand into surrounding countries. www.infoplease.com/atlas/country/uganda.html

13 P: 555.123.4568 F: 555.123.4567 123 West Main Street, New York, NY 10001 www.rightcare.com | PoC- Saline Bag Control Methods A bag of saline with a thermometer inserted was heated to 37 °C in a water bath. The saline was placed on an inactive mat and allowed to cool down. The temperature of the saline was recorded every minute with a calibrated thermistor inserted into the saline until the temperature dropped to 34 °C Use phase change material (PCM) between the neonate and the heating unit to prevent burns Maintain the baby at a temperature of about 37 °C while heating unit is off

14 P: 555.123.4568 F: 555.123.4567 123 West Main Street, New York, NY 10001 www.rightcare.com | PoC- Phase Change Material (PCM) Methods The PCM was activated in a microwave, then placed on the inactive mat with thermistors placed at specific locations. Meanwhile a bag of saline was heated to 35 °C in a water bath and placed on the PCM. The experiment was repeated with thermistors. Results
