Performance vs Requirements
Organization: Haiti Outreach: Pwoje Espwa (H.O.P.E)
Coordinates clinics in remote areas of Haiti.
Isolation and lack of electricity hinders the mobile clinic’s ability to do testing through centrifugation.  
Purpose
Create a new design that is able to satisfy the hematocrit protocols.
Improve issues concerning the centrifuge weight, aerodynamics and ergonomic concerns.
Finished project will be an easy-to-use and lightweight centrifuge that will effectively assist the H.O.P.E. mobile clinics and the citizens of Haiti.
