We are continually identifying new challenges across the spectrum of health care and creating solutions that work for the people who need them most. In the Design phase of the Ariadne Labs Arc, we use human-centered design to produce a testable version of a solution that meets the needs of the end user. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

BetterBirth Receives Significant Grant to Promote Optimal Feeding of Low Birthweight and Preterm Infants <\/h3>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

BetterBirth received nearly $10 million in funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to begin work on the Low Birthweight and Preterm Infant Feeding Trial and Supportive Care Package (LIFT-UP) project. LIFT-UP will provide implementation research on the feeding and probiotic recommendations of the 2022 WHO Care for the Preterm or Low Birthweight infant guidelines. The work aims to identify opportunities to better support small, vulnerable newborns and their families with improved feeding interventions and enhanced support for providing human milk.

This work builds on findings from the Low Birthweight Infant Feeding Exploration (LIFE) study, which documents feeding practices, growth patterns, and health outcomes among more than 1,100 low birthweight infants in low-resource countries. A recently released executive summary<\/a> outlines key findings and suggested action to ensure small, vulnerable newborns survive and thrive.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Spark Grants Awarded to Nine Health Care Innovators<\/h3>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

Spark Grants continued to fuel Ariadne\u2019s innovation pipeline, funding nine new and early-stage<\/a> projects to close gaps in health care. Recipients worked with experts in human-centered design from Ariadne\u2019s Innovation Platform to develop a wide range of solutions, including communication tools to improve cesarean recovery in rural Africa, a checklist to streamline access to life-saving stroke care, and conversation guides for deprescribing in hospice settings. This year\u2019s recipients included five projects funded by Harvard Medical School Dean\u2019s Innovation Grants in Health Care Delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the grants awarded, three received renewed Spark Grant funding in early 2023 to continue on with their work, while others sought further funding from other sources.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
