World situation
What we wish to resolve
We are facing a serious threat due to COVID19. Most of the countries are suffering severe shortage of medical equipment, that cannot be produced and delivered in a short time. Ventilators are essential to keep breathing when faced with the complications of COVID19. See the information below if you want to become part of the solution.
NOTE!
VentilAid is a last resort device, applicable only when all other professional equipment is unavailable!

Who are we
What drives us
We are a group of engineers and designers who constantly develop and share to the public the VentilAid Project! An open source ventilator, that can be made anywhere locally with a 3D printer and very basic parts. Ventilators are essential to keep breathing when faced with the complications of COVID19.
We believe COVID19 pandemic will pass with minimized harm to mankind thanks to proper use of technology and solidarity in sharing knowledge.
Remember!
The Mk I and II device prototypes are of last resort only – applicable only if professional equipment is unavailable! Due to the current development of the latest Mk III prototype, we have closed and no longer support the previous ones! You print them at your own risk, and we strongly advise against using them!
