Our project
The objective of this project is to support this eventual and potential crisis of treatment of the Covid-19 that can be generated in our country.
The objective of this project is to support this eventual and potential crisis of treatment of the Covid-19 that can be generated in our country, developing a system that incorporates a mobile application for continuous and real time monitoring of any mechanical fan; The mobile application is based on React Native and implements the IBM Cloud services as Cloudfoundry and implements the following output variables pressure, breaths per minute, volume flow, inspiration and expiration rate, battery level, blood pressure signal (ABP), Electrocardiography signal (ECG), Photoplethysmography signal (PPG) and oxygen saturation (SpO2). On the other hand, in the present project we also propose the design of a ventilator, a portable mechanical respirator of low cost and feasible to manufacture within the Colombian territory, complementing the scaling of a current laboratory prototype to a prototype system, evaluating and projecting the supply chain of this product. This will allow us to obtain a product very close to manufacturing conditions, and close to being submitted to study of permits and certifications for manufacturing.
Overall goal
To develop a real-time monitoring system that allows the recording of multiple physiological variables of a mechanical ventilator through a mobile application that monitors the physiological variables of the Pneuma ventilator and stores them remotely in IBM's Cloud service. The TLR5 phase design of a non-invasive, portable, pre-commercial mechanical ventilator is also proposed as a vital device in the face of the massive influx of patients with respiratory failure and pneumonia caused by high transmission of COVID-19 in Colombia.
Specific goals
1. Implement a mobile application based on React and IBM Cloud services that allows to register, monitor and diagnose patients suffering from SARS-V2 in Colombia, through Watson Assistant, CloudFoundry, as well as the embedded services of location and routing.
2. Develop a prototype of a non-invasive mechanical ventilator at TRL 5 level, which will allow its validation in the medical community.
3. Characterization of the supply chain for the evaluation and improvement of the prototype at a pilot production scale.
Mobile Application Design Watch our mobile app here
Due to the easy and fast manufacturing of Pneuma fans and with our PneumApp application, it will be possible to monitor patients from homes or in hospitals in real time. The application will also have an alarm system and a chatbot for customer service. It will also be compatible with all fans using our bluetooth interface model, based on the HC-05 module. This will be compatible with any cellular or tablet device since our model will be compatible with input platforms (RPi, Arduino, ESP, etc) and output platforms (Android, IOS, Windows, HMI, HDMI, Web).
Finally, the application also compiles real-time geolocation metadata that allows doctors to obtain a prioritization list of the most critical patients. This priority system will be based on our alarm system, which will implement an artificial intelligence algorithm based on physiological output variables to predict possible oxygen depletion events, heart attacks and SARS events that characterize the symptoms of a patient suffering from COVID-19, which will improve the management system and allocation of patients in hospitals for home care and emergencies to call ambulances at appropriate times without generating congestion in hospitals and roads.
