We propose the design of a ventilator which can be easily manufactured and integrated into the hospital environment to support COVID-19 patients. The unit is designed to support standard ventilator modes of operation, most importantly PRVC…

HEV is a low-cost, versatile, high-quality ventilator, which has been designed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ventilator is intended to be used both in and out of hospital intensive care units, and for both invasive and…

This paper describe a mechanical ventilator prototype with preclinical test performed on 10 bioporcine models, where results have shown the capabilities to maintain physiological parameter for each subject under test and present also the…

Presented here is the design of the Mechanical Ventilator Milano (MVM), a novel mechanical ventilator designed for rapid mass production in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to address the urgent shortage of intensive therapy ventilators in…

Rigorous development processes aim to be effective in developing critical systems, especially if failures can have catastrophic consequences for humans and the environment. Such processes generally rely on formal methods, which can…

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created an unprecedented need for breathing assistance devices. Since the demand for commercial, full-featured ventilators is far higher than the supply capacity, many rapid-response ventilators are…

In response to the shortage of ventilators caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations have designed low-cost emergency ventilators. Many of these devices are pressure-cycled pneumatic ventilators, which are easy to produce but…

Mechanical ventilation is one of the most widely used therapies in the ICU. However, despite broad application from anaesthesia to COVID-related life support, many injurious challenges remain. We frame these as a control problem:…

The pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected countries all across the world, heavily burdening the medical infrastructure with the growing number of patients affected by the coronavirus…

As the COVID-19 pandemic expands, the shortening of medical equipment is swelling. A key piece of equipment getting far-out attention has been ventilators. The difference between supply and demand is substantial to be handled with normal…

The COVID-19 pandemic left an unprecedented impact on the general public health, resulting in thousands of deaths in the US alone. Nationwide testing plans were initiated to control the spread, with drive-through being the currently…

We propose a robust in-time predictor for in-hospital COVID-19 patient's probability of requiring mechanical ventilation. A challenge in the risk prediction for COVID-19 patients lies in the great variability and irregular sampling of…

Mechanical ventilators sustain life of patients that are unable to breathe (sufficiently) on their own. The aim of this paper is to improve pressure tracking performance of mechanical ventilators for a wide variety of sedated patients. This…

This study presents a new risk-averse multi-stage stochastic epidemics-ventilator-logistics compartmental model to address the resource allocation challenges of mitigating COVID-19. This epidemiological logistics model involves the…

The Covid-19 pandemic has strained the hospital systems in many countries in the world, especially in developing countries. In many low-resource hospitals, severely ill hypoxemic Covid-19 patients are treated with various forms of low-flow…

Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) will play an in-creasing role in improving the quality of medical care for critically ill patients. However, due to limitations in current informatics infrastructure, CDSS do not always have…

Background: Recent pandemic has brought a sudden surge in the requirement of mechanical ventilators all over the world. In this backdrop, there is wide interest in looking for ways to support multiple patients from a single ventilator.…

In the COVID-19 period, the number of deaths has increased every day around the world. The pandemic has impacted the life and economy. Especially, there is a shortage in medical including a lack of technology, facility and equipment. One of…

This paper presents a recurrent neural network approach to simulating mechanical ventilator pressure. The traditional mechanical ventilator has a control pressure that is monitored by a medical practitioner and can behave incorrectly if the…

During the COVID-19 outbreak, the auscultation of heart and lung sounds has played an important role in the comprehensive diagnosis and real-time monitoring of confirmed cases. With clinicians wearing protective clothing in isolation wards,…
