Tech Companies Keep Fighting COVID-19
<p><strong>VentLife Creates a Low-Cost Ventilators Initiative</strong></p><p>VentLife was created to research, prototype, develop, and provide low-cost, clinically effective ventilators. The non-profit has developed a novel mechanical ventilator specifically targeted to meet the needs of COVID-19 patients. With input from over a dozen medical doctors, engineers, and entrepreneurs, the device has been designed to work effectively at a low cost. One of the group’s members has created a ventilator prototype in less than one week – using parts purchased at Home Depot. (Image source: VentLife)</p>
