Lead the Blust TIC (Safe, Reliable and Sustainable Cold Chain Device) project to ensure that deliverables are met and that, by the end of the TIC cycle (2 years from July 2025), a validated Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is available. Define and implement the strategic roadmap for its transition to scale, aiming to embed the innovation within MSF’s operational model and facilitate its adoption by other humanitarian stakeholders.
JOB CONTEXT
A dependable mobile cold chain is vital for MSF's field operations, safeguarding vaccines, lab samples, and temperature-sensitive medicines within the 2oC to 8oC range to maintain their effectiveness. Challenges in sustaining this service directly affect MSF's ability to provide quality care in resource-limited environments.
Since 2023, MSF's Mobile Outbreak Laboratory and Cold Chain team, partnering with Elisava University (Trustto team), has developed Blust, an innovative solution to these issues.
This promising device is the focus of a Technology Investment Capacity (TIC) project, led by a Project Manager, to finalize its design into a ready-to-use Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and establish a clear scaling roadmap for MSF and other humanitarian organizations.
