Inspiration
Address the shortage of ventilators
What it does
Provides low cost (less than $100) ventilation for critical patients
How we built it
The first prototype automates the hand-operated ventilator (BVM) used by emergency personnel using a stepper motor, ST Micro stepper driver, mbed Real-time operating system that can run on any ARM Cortex CPU, 3D printed parts, Linear actuator mechanical design
Challenges we ran into
Deciding on parts that would be easily available for mass production
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The first prototype works. The design for the second one is complete.
What we learned
Learn from others. Build and revise. Build and revise...
