Open Source Respirators & Ventilators

Open Source Respirators & Ventilators - open-source assistive technology working model by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) community

About this project

VentilAid is an open source ventilator, that can be made anywhere locally with 3D printer and very basic parts.

***DISCLAIMER: VentilAid is a last resort device, applicable only when professional medical equipment is missing. ***

The challenge

There is a world wide shortage of ventilators.

Who it helps

In the most severe cases of COVID-19, many patients contract pneumonia, and those who are hospitalized for COVID-19 often require mechanical ventilation or are put on ventilators when they are placed in Intensive Care Units.
