OpenVent - 3D printable pressure sensor for ventilators

During the Corona (COVID-19) pandemic it became obvious that a lack of medical equipment can cause a severe impact. Often, also simple equipment and designs can be helpful as long as no professional equipment is available.

This repository contains generic information about an open-source ventilator device. Main purpose of this project is to build a ventilator when no professional and medical equipment is available. Easy to assemble and available components are used with a clear focus on simplicity, availability and scalability.

This project started as part of the #WirvsVirus Hackathon of the German government and is intensively being worked on since, including exchange with medical experts. The work is also a selected project in the give-a-breath-challenge and The Global Hack.
