How is your business helping to solve the health, social, or economic challenges created by COVID19?
Using the team’s extensive experience in electro mechanical control systems in their regular business, we decided to contribute in Nation’s fight against COVID-19, by designing a ventilator along with the active involvement and guidance of Prof. Amitabha Bandyopadhyay (In Charge of the business incubator of IIT Kanpur) and an experienced team of pulmonologists and intensivists from India and overseas. The development is aided by an experienced group of Indian Business leaders and biomedical engineers.The ventilator has been designed in a way that•It can be manufactured at a large scale at multiple sites.•Is capable of working with medical air line + oxygen as well as ambient air + oxygen thus providing the versatility to operate under both conditions.•It meets all the essential specifications laid out by Indian Govt. The designed mechanical ventilator is capable of operating in PC-CMV PC SIMV, PSV, VC-SIMV, VC CMV, PRVC, ACV, CPAP and BPAP modes. The ventilator is permanently connected to a mobile phone which is used to control the device and display critical information. The IoT enabled feature creates an efficient Ventilator Management System that allows: •doctors to control the ventilators remotely and thus ensuring lesser exposure to COVID-19 patients and/or ventilator AND •control of multiple machines with one IoT device thus addressing the problem of limited availability of trained doctors.
Does your business contribute most to recovery, response, or resilience?
