Developing a Ventilator for Low-Resource Settings
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 of
low-resource settings. The ventilator works by the automated and controlled
compression of a standard 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 are developing novel controls algorithms, validate them via rigorous
testing according to ISO norms, and are working towards medical certification.
