Medical Devices for Global Contexts

The lab performs ongoing work in the area of global health to bridge the gap in resources, innovation, and quality of healthcare between well-resourced and developing nations.

In response to the ventilator shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed the individualized system for augmenting ventilator efficacy (iSAVE). The iSAVE multiplexes ventilators, CPAP and BiPAP machines to safely deliver patient-specific volumes and pressures. Through the Project Prana Foundation (501c3) and partnership with IndVentr, this product has been commercialized in India. (Sci Trans Med, 12, 549, 2020)
