Development of a low-cost ventilator
Countries with more fragile medical systems, for example in Low and Middle-Income countries (LMIC), need low-cost ventilators to raise the capacity of their healthcare systems. We focus on the development of a low-cost, high quality emergency and transport ventilator.
Keywords: Biomedical Engineering: Biomedical Engineering
Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Electrical Engineering, Integrated Circuits
Manufacturing Engineering: Control Engineering, Safety and Quality
Mechanical Engineering: Mechanical Engineering
Computer Software: Programming Languages, Programming Techniques, Software Engineering
Information Systems: Systems Theory and Control
We are a team of engineers, a product designer, and medical advisors who are designing, prototyping and testing a low-cost ventilator to meet the unique needs oflow-resource settings. The ventilator works by the automated and controlled compression of a standard “Ambu bag”, or resuscitator bag. We are developing the ventilator according to the relevant technical and regulatory standards, and are optimizing the design for the buildability, compactness, and robustness as well as intuitive product interaction. We carry out rigorous testing with a mechanical lung according to ISO norms and we are working towards medical certification.
We are looking for motivated students to join our team within the scope of a semester project. You should have experience with and a strong interest in:
- Electrical Engineering
- Experience with MATLAB Simulink
- Interests in logical/mathematical coherences
