Many cities and hospitals are struggling with shortage of ventilators; Doctors have to make tough choices, including which lives to save first.
Considering this EthAum is organizing an online Hackathon to ensure we have a cost effective, scalable #Ventilator solution ASAP.
I have invited students from 50+ Engg colleges & would love to see more participation.
Plz participate, like, share to support the fight against #CoronaVirus.
Deadline for submission is March 30th
Demo will happen on March 31st @ 8 AM IST. zoom.us/j/428667380
Ventilator Specs can be found here:

You can also participate by splitting existing ventilator for 6+ patients. Check here:
This is the sheet that participants will fill: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Here is the email that I sent to some NITs and IITs in India:

Splitting ventilators can be the fastest and easiest hack to save lives. Below are the two methods to split existing ventilators:

Plz engage with local manufacturers to produce and test them.
Engaged with 4 3D printers in Jaipur to build prototypes by Monday.
Connected with 2 hospitals to test the prototypes by next week.
Will try to donate at least 1,000 splitters (usable for 4,000+ patients) by end of March. Hopefully, we can win this battle!
