Inspiration
In the COVID-19 crisis, we are facing a shortage of ventilators. Simply ramping up production might not be able to meet the exponentially rising demand.
What it does
The output of an existing ICU ventilator is branched, so that it can feed four patients. This idea is inspired by https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1197/j.aem.2006.05.009
How I built it
Feasibility study to identify strengths and challenges related to solutions.
Started to develop conceptual solution:

Challenges I ran into
Patients are not the same. Can we handle this?
