COVID-19 Topics

Hackathons

March 2020

  • UK: Hack the Quarantine https://hackquarantine.com

    • Platform: Discord


"We’re looking for solutions in following categories:
* Isolation
* Facts & data
* Education
We are looking for ideas that:
* are able to be prototyped in 3-5 days 
* give society access to reliable information
* give people hope in this difficult time
* provide a sense of security in the face of developing crisis"

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... _
