Wearable Breast Pump

Invention Factory India is a six-week summer program in which IIT students from across India, working in teams of two, Prototype, Pitch and Patent inventions that each team has conceived of in the program's first intensive week. Teams compete for substantial prize money for the “Best Inventions“ as determined by an illustrious panel of judges who select the inventions, with functioning prototypes, that successfully meet an important societal or consumer need.

The team was placed first for their device, the Wearable Breast Pump, at IIT Gandhinagar, winning 2 Lakh Rupees.

The Team developed a wearable breast pump built into a bra with a cooling container attached. The breast pump collects milk by simulating a child's suction pattern and transfers it to a removable container, which is preserved for up to 24 hours. The product was designed with working mothers in mind as well.
