An organized group of professionals from multiple disciplines focused on developing an affordable, medical grade, robust, open source solution to acute shortage of mechanical ventilators due to COVID-19 pandemic. We have a core developer group collaborating online from different parts of the world, to design, build, test and validate the prototype.
- Even-though the initiation of the project was due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the LibreRespire team will continue the development of this ventilator to provide this essential medical device at a fraction of the cost of a commercial ventilator to developing countries, which are in dire shortage of ventilators regardless of the COVID-19.
To design, build and validate a mechanical ventilator which meets minimum standards for long term ventilation with the aid of 3D printed parts and easily sourced components which can be customized for local needs.
The design will be publicly available for
- Study
- Modify
- Distribute
- Build
- Sell the design or hardware.
Current colloborations include,
Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, Trinity College, Dublin
