Let's design and deploy an open source ventilator to prevent COVID19 deaths
- syllable_studio 7y agoAs I understand it, many COVID19 deaths could be prevented if cities didn't run out of ventilators. What open-source good-enough version can we mass-produce in a hurry? This isn't my project. But I was thinking along similar lines, found this on the web, and now I want to find a way to contribute. I'm posting this here on HN to add our collective brain power to the cause. I'm looking now to see what other similar projects are out there. I can help build a better web-presence for the project if it's helpful. (My agency: https://www.syllablehq.com/ https://www.syllablehq.com/)
