Please close your eyes,

3000
Iltimos, ko'zinglarni yuminglar
00:18
and open your hands.
1
3000
3000
va qo'llaringlarni ochinglar.
00:21
Now imagine what you could place in your hands:
2
6000
3000
Qo'llaringizga nimani joylay olishingizni tasavvur qiling:
00:24
an apple, maybe your wallet.
3
9000
3000
olma, balki hamyoningizdir.
00:27
Now open your eyes.
4
12000
2000
Endi esa ko'zinglarni ochinglar.
00:29
What about a life?
5
14000
2000
Hayotnichi? joylashtira olasizlarmi?
00:31
What you see here is a premature baby.
6
16000
2000
Hozir ko'rib turganingiz barvaqt tug'ilgan go'dak.
00:33
He looks like he's resting peacefully, but in fact he's struggling to stay alive
7
18000
3000
Ko'rinishidan u hotirjam yotgan tuyuladi, aslida esa u hayot uchun kurashayapti,
00:36
because he can't regulate his own body temperature.
8
21000
3000
chunki u tana haroratini boshqara olmaydi.
00:39
This baby is so tiny he doesn't have
9
24000
2000
Chaqaloq shu qadar kichkinaki,
00:41
enough fat on his body to stay warm.
10
26000
2000
tanasini iliq holda saqlashi uchun organizmida yetarli yog' yo'q.
00:43
Sadly, 20 million babies like this
11
28000
3000
Shunisi achinarliki, har yili dunyo bo'ylab
00:46
are born every year around the world.
12
31000
3000
shunga o'hshash 20 million chaqaloqlar tug'iladi.
00:49
Four million of these babies die annually.
13
34000
2000
Har yili shu chaqaloqlarning 4 millioni vafot etadi.
00:51
But the bigger problem is that the ones who do survive
14
36000
3000
Lekin bundanda kattaroq muammo shuki shu vaziyatlardan yengib o'tib yashayotgan chaqaloqlar
00:54
grow up with severe, long-term health problems.
15
39000
3000
murakkab, uzoq muddatga cho'ziladigan sog'liq muammolari bilan o'sadilar.
00:57
The reason is because in the first month of a baby's life,
16
42000
3000
Chunki chaqaloqning hayotidagi birinchi oyda
01:00
its only job is to grow.
17
45000
2000
uning yagona vazifasi o'sishdir.
01:02
If it's battling hypothermia, its organs can't develop normally,
18
47000
3000
Agar u gipotermiya bilan kurashayotgan bo'lsa, uning organlari normal holatda rivojlana olmaydi.
01:05
resulting in a range of health problems
19
50000
2000
Bu esa diabetdan yurak kasalliklarigacha,
01:07
from diabetes, to heart disease,
20
52000
2000
hattoki zaif ilmiy qobiliyat kabi
01:09
to low I.Q.
21
54000
2000
sog'liq muammolarini keltirb chiqaradi.
01:11
Imagine: Many of these problems could be prevented
22
56000
3000
Agar shu chaqaloqlar issiq holatda saqlansa,
01:14
if these babies were just kept warm.
23
59000
3000
bu muammolarning ko'pchiligining oldini olsak bo'ladi.
01:17
That is the primary function of an incubator.
24
62000
2000
Bu esa inkubatorning asosiy vazifasi.
01:19
But traditional incubators require electricity
25
64000
2000
Lekin an'anaviy inkubatorlar uchun elektr kerak
01:21
and cost up to 20 thousand dollars.
26
66000
3000
va ularning narxi 20 ming dollargacha boradi.
01:24
So, you're not going to find them in rural areas of developing countries.
27
69000
3000
Shunaqa ekan, rivojlanayotgan davlatlarning qishloq joylarida bularni topolmaysiz.
01:27
As a result, parents resort to local solutions
28
72000
3000
Natijada, ota onalar mahalliy usullarni qo'llaydilar,
01:30
like tying hot water bottles around their babies' bodies,
29
75000
3000
masalan, go'daklarining badanlariga issiq suv quyilgan shishalarni o'raydialr
01:33
or placing them under light bulbs like the ones you see here --
30
78000
3000
yoki mana bu yerda ko'rib turganingiz kabi chaqaloqlarni elektr lampalarining tagiga qo'yishdir-
01:36
methods that are both ineffective and unsafe.
31
81000
3000
bu usullar foydasiz va havflidir.
01:39
I've seen this firsthand over and over again.
32
84000
3000
Men buni birinchi marta takror-takror ko'rganman.
01:42
On one of my first trips to India, I met this young woman, Sevitha,
33
87000
3000
Hindistonga bo'lgan birinchi sayohatimda, Sevita ismli bu yosh ayolni uchratdim.
01:45
who had just given birth to a tiny premature baby, Rani.
34
90000
4000
Uning barvaqt tug'ilgan kichkina chaqalog'i, Rani, yaqindagina dunyoga kelgandi.
01:49
She took her baby to the nearest village clinic,
35
94000
3000
U chaqalog'ini yaqin atrofdagi qishloq shifoxonasiga olib bordi.
01:52
and the doctor advised her to take Rani
36
97000
2000
Shifokorlar esa Ranini inkubatorga joylashtirish uchun
01:54
to a city hospital so she could be placed in an incubator.
37
99000
4000
shahar shifoxonasiga olib borishni tavsiya qilishdi.
01:58
But that hospital was over four hours away,
38
103000
3000
Ammo, u shifoxona to'rt soatdan ham ortiqroq masofada edi.
02:01
and Sevitha didn't have the means to get there,
39
106000
3000
Sevitaning u yerga boradigan hech qanday transport vositasi yoki mablag'i yo'q edi,
02:04
so her baby died.
40
109000
2000
shu bois chaqaloq hayotdan ko'z yumdi.
02:06
Inspired by this story, and dozens of other similar stories like this,
41
111000
3000
Shu va shu kabi ko'plab voqealardan o'rnak olib,
02:09
my team and I realized what was needed was a local solution,
42
114000
3000
mening guruhim va men bu muammoga mahalliy yechim kerakligini anglab yetdik.
02:12
something that could work without electricity,
43
117000
2000
Elektrsiz ishlaydigan,
02:14
that was simple enough for a mother or a midwife to use,
44
119000
3000
ona yoki uy bekasi osongina foydalana oladigan asbob kerak,
02:17
given that the majority of births still take place in the home.
45
122000
3000
sababi hali ham, ko'pchilik go'daklar uylarida tu'gilishadi.
02:20
We needed something that was portable,
46
125000
2000
Bizga qulay hajmda bo'lgan,
02:22
something that could be sterilized and reused across multiple babies
47
127000
3000
sterillab, bir necha go'daklar uchun qayta ishlatsa bo'ladigan
02:25
and something ultra-low-cost,
48
130000
2000
va AQSHdagi 20,000 dollarlik
02:27
compared to the 20,000 dollars
49
132000
2000
inkubatorga nisbatan
02:29
that an incubator in the U.S. costs.
50
134000
3000
juda ham arzon narxdagi asbob kerak edi.
02:32
So, this is what we came up with.
51
137000
2000
Xullas, biz mana buni o'ylab topdik.
02:34
What you see here looks nothing like an incubator.
52
139000
2000
Bu yerda ko'rib turganingiz inkubatorga aslo o'xshamaydi.
02:36
It looks like a small sleeping bag for a baby.
53
141000
3000
Bu go'dakning uhlashi uchun mo'ljallangan kichkina sumkaga o'xshaydi.
02:39
You can open it up completely. It's waterproof.
54
144000
3000
Buni to'liq ochishingiz mumkin. Bu suv o'tkazmaslik hususiyatiga ega.
02:42
There's no seams inside so you can sterilize it very easily.
55
147000
3000
Ichki qismida qatlamlari yo'q, bu esa sterillash uchun oson bo'ladi.
02:45
But the magic is in this pouch of wax.
56
150000
4000
Lekin, buning siri mana bu parafinli sumkada.
02:49
This is a phase-change material.
57
154000
2000
Bu agregati o'zgaruvchi material.
02:51
It's a wax-like substance with a melting point
58
156000
2000
Bu parafinga o'xshash modda,
02:53
of human body temperature, 37 degrees Celsius.
59
158000
3000
inson tana haroratida, ya'ni 37 daraja Celsiy da, erish hususiyatiga ega.
02:56
You can melt this simply using hot water
60
161000
3000
Siz buni oddiygina issiq suv bilan eritishingiz mumkin.
02:59
and then when it melts it's able to maintain one constant temperature
61
164000
4000
Erigandan so'ng, bir paytning o'zida 4-6 soatgacha
03:03
for four to six hours at a time,
62
168000
2000
muntazam bir hil haroratni saqlab tura oladi.
03:05
after which you simply reheat the pouch.
63
170000
3000
So'ngra, parafinli sumkani qayta isitasiz.
03:08
So, you then place it into this little pocket back here,
64
173000
5000
Bu yerdagi kichkina cho'ntakka joylashtirasiz
03:15
and it creates a warm micro-environment
65
180000
2000
va u chaqaloq uchun iliq
03:17
for the baby.
66
182000
3000
mikro-muhit hosil qiladi.
03:20
Looks simple, but we've reiterated this dozens of times
67
185000
4000
Ko'rinishidan soddagina, lekin biz bir necha marta
03:24
by going into the field to talk to doctors, moms and clinicians
68
189000
3000
bu sohadagi shifokorlar va onalar bilan maslahatlashdik.
03:27
to ensure that this really meets the needs of the local communities.
69
192000
3000
Bu mahalliy xalqning ehtiyojlariga mos bo'lishi uchun hamma harakatlarni qildik.
03:30
We plan to launch this product in India in 2010,
70
195000
3000
Bu mahsulotni Hindistonda 2010 yilda ishga tushirishni rejalashtiryapmiz.
03:33
and the target price point will be 25 dollars,
71
198000
4000
Narhi 25 dollar bo'ladi,
03:37
less than 0.1 percent of the cost
72
202000
2000
ya'ni bu an'anaviy inkubator
03:39
of a traditional incubator.
73
204000
3000
narxining 0.1 foizidir.
03:42
Over the next five years we hope to save the lives
74
207000
2000
Keyingi besh yil ichida, umid qilamizki
03:44
of almost a million babies.
75
209000
2000
deyarli million chaqaloqning hayotini saqlay olamiz.
03:46
But the longer-term social impact is a reduction in population growth.
76
211000
3000
Ammo, uzoq muddatli ijtimoiy ta'sir aholi o'sishini kamaytirishni maqsad qilgan.
03:49
This seems counterintuitive,
77
214000
2000
Bu esa hissiyotga qarshi tuyuladi,
03:51
but turns out that as infant mortality is reduced,
78
216000
3000
lekin chaqaloqlarning vafot etishi kamaygan sari,
03:54
population sizes also decrease,
79
219000
2000
aholi soni ham kamayadi,
03:56
because parents don't need to anticipate
80
221000
2000
chunki ota-onalar chaqaloqlarini
03:58
that their babies are going to die.
81
223000
2000
vafot etish ehtimolligini o'ylamaydilar.
04:00
We hope that the Embrace infant warmer
82
225000
3000
Chaqaloqlarni isituvchi asbob va
04:03
and other simple innovations like this
83
228000
2000
shunga o'xshash oddiy ixtirolar
04:05
represent a new trend for the future of technology:
84
230000
4000
kelasi texnologiya uchun yangi yo'nalish namoyon qiladi, deb umid qilamiz:
04:09
simple, localized, affordable solutions
85
234000
3000
sodda, mahhaliy, arzon yechimlar
04:12
that have the potential to make huge social impact.
86
237000
3000
ulkan ijtimoiy ta'sirga ega bo'lish hususiyatiga ega.
04:15
In designing this we followed a few basic principles.
87
240000
3000
Buni tuzishda, biz asosiy qoidalarga rioya qildik.
04:18
We really tried to understand the end user,
88
243000
2000
Biz Sevita kabi foydalanuvchilarni
04:20
in this case, people like Sevitha.
89
245000
3000
tushunishga harakat qildik.
04:23
We tried to understand the root of the problem
90
248000
2000
Biz mavjud narsaga moyil bo'lmadik.
04:25
rather than being biased by what already exists.
91
250000
3000
Aksincha, muammoning asl mohiyatini tushunishga harakat qilamiz.
04:28
And then we thought of the most simple solution we could
92
253000
3000
So'ngra, bu muammoni hal qilish uchun
04:31
to address this problem.
93
256000
2000
eng sodda yechimni o'yladik.
04:33
In doing this, I believe we can truly bring technology to the masses.
94
258000
4000
Ishonamanki, shu usulda biz ko'pchilikka texnologiyani olib kela olamiz.
04:37
And we can save millions of lives through the simple warmth of an Embrace.
95
262000
3000
Oddiygina "Embrace" inkubatorining mehri bilan, millionlab hayotlarni saqlay olamiz.
