In answer to the current COVID-19 crisis, and more specifically the global shortage of mechanical ventilators, the Montreal General Hospital Foundation and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) just launched the #CodeLifeChallenge.
The goal of this challenge is to design a ventilator that can serve the COVID patients, in an emergency timeframe. The best designs will be available for free download to anyone who needs them, saving lives immediately.
The ventilators should be:
- • low-cost and easy to use
- • easy to build locally
- • easy to verify its functionality
- • meet the design requirements specified here.
Three finalists will be selected and share a cash prize of at least $200,000.00 CAD.
The deadline to submit your project is March 31, 2020, 11:59 pm EST, so there is no time to lose!
Also, make sure to share that information with your network as the best ideas can come from anywhere.
