Low-cost, non-electric ventilator allows non-specialized workers to treat COVID-19 patients
A team of engineers from Loughborough University has designed and built a unique low-cost, non-electric ventilator in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ShiVent system was created to allow non-specialized workers to treat patients with coronavirus.
The team - Yusuf Bilesanmi, Ricardo Nascimento, Dr Yusuf Shittu, Gaurav Nanajkar and Pawel Nycz - designed the ventilator with four key features:
Simple to use- by the average health workers and takes only 30 minutes of training
Low-Cost- can be produced at a very small fraction of the price of the average ventilator
Non-Electric- making it suitable for hospital settings with unreliable power
