COVID-19 Topics

Hackathons

March 2020

NEW

  • UK: Hack the Quarantine https://hackquarantine.com
    • improving health, remote working and helping vulnerable populations
    • 23. March - 12. April
    • Platform: Discord 
One interesting concern is that there are many of these, and you could make an argument that they’d be stronger and faster in working together. Organizing that on global scale is probably impossible though (you’d need loads of marketing) — so I think local initiatives are wonderful!
I’d encourage us to do a bit of desk research & reach out to other teams to ‘steal’ their concepts (or contribute). → For example there are ventilator projects in the US, Finland, and Ireland, as I observed in my network. No shame in taking someone’s design and mass manufacturing it for your community.
Which is better in the current state? Spending three weeks developing a great, cheap ventilator design or spending three weeks 3D-printing and assembling 2000 pieces of a design made in New York?
I’d suggest whoever wants to help to either a) invest in organizing a complete project group well, or b) consider giving up your own idea and contribute what you do best to someone else!
Our goal is to share our knowledge to act fast, save lives, and limit economic fallout…. beyond inventing clever things! (Joe Pacal)


Masks

Ventilators

an ICU ventilator is a profoundly simple device. Here’s how it works: the patient is sedated enough to tolerate having a breathing tube secured in the trachea. The breathing tube connects to the ventilator by a hose. As the patient initiates a breath, the machine detects a slight drop in pressure, and a piston-driven cylinder pushes a measured volume of oxygen into the patient’s lungs. If the patient doesn’t or can’t start a breath, the machine will automatically do so after a few seconds. At some point, the machine either successfully delivers the required volume or reaches a maximum safe pressure and automatically cycles so that air can come back out of the patient’s lungs and through a separate hose. Pause. Repeat. Minute after minute, hour after hour. If necessary, for days.

My contributions


  • Creatively Connecting Communities
    • I want to cross-link all of these separate hackathons!
    • Let's combine our strengths & work on this together!
    • I'm interested in OPEN communication & sharing of knowledge, data, ideas, results

Other Technical Communities Coordinations

_Examples: sharing of the Best Current Practices handbooks; discussion groups; maker-spaces for open-source 3D printing of ventilator hardware; hackathons; regional cross-connections... _


Funding
