We are not the only team developing low-cost ventilator technology and here we list those that meet the following criteria:
- Have considered safety and system limitations
- Have a plan to produce at scale with established industrial groups
- Have received or are seeking regulatory approval
All these groups have responded to the needs of their communities with passion and compassion and an amazing degree of collaboration. Many of these projects have used information from our work and then gone much further!
