#TeamLA: Ventilators for Patients with COVID-19

I am a graduate student in the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and a UCLA Biodesign Fellow for 2020-2021. Based on conversations with over a dozen clinicians, including multiple physicians at UCLA, I have developed a novel ventilator that is specifically designed to meet the clinical needs of patients with COVID-19. This ventilator is designed to be straightforward to use and easy to mass produce, and can be a critical tool for clinicians who are providing care for patients with COVID-19.

Each gift made to support this project will help purchase medical-grade components that can be used in making the ventilators, as well as enable me to build prototypes that can be validated by clinicians before use. 

My project has been featured in numerous articles online, including Time, GineersNow, and the LA Business Journal. To learn more, please visit:
