Engineering Meets Pediatric Medicine at Lurie Children's Hospital

Being an engineer means you have unique skills to contribute to the world. These contributions can include improving quality of products, increasing efficiency, and generally allowing workers and companies to be more successful in their goals. 

A recent project at DMC brought this social benefit even closer to home with the opportunity to work with the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. 

DMC was approached with a very special need—to develop the world’s only Thermoregulatory Chamber designed and built from the ground up specifically for children. DMC partnered with the hospital clinicians, researchers, architects, and patients to deliver this one-of-a-kind solution.

"Working with DMC was a spectacular experience for us," said Dr. Debra E. Weese-Mayer, Chief of the Center for Autonomic Medicine in Pediatrics and Professor of Pediatrics for Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. "We actually found kindred spirits who understood what our needs were for building a chamber specific to children."
