Abstract

Innovation: INNOV-ventilator is a purely pneumatic (air-powered) ventilator. It is simple and safe to operate using existing equipment and is also much easier to manufacture than a traditional ventilator. The INNOV-Ventilator functionalities are easily upgraded into commonly used sensors and display technologies. Expected Results: The outbreak of COVID-19 has left many health-systems struggling, due to a shortage of key medical equipment, including ventilators. The global shortage of ventilators has even meant that many patients have been denied critical care. The accelerated the advancement of the air-powered INNOV-VENTILATOR, which is simple to use and manufacture, can help ensure broader access to life-saving ventilators around the world.
