Students of Tezpur University in Assam have designed an IoT-based portable ventilator, which will help patients with respiratory ailments breathe easily and overcome the problem of shortage of the life-saving instrument, amid a second wave of Covid-19, an official said on Thursday.
A group of Electrical Engineering students comprising Bihung Muchahary, Aniket Raj, Manish Kumar and Ankita Das are working in the project under the guidance of Chiranjit Adhikary, Ex-Guest Faculty, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Firdausa Ahmed, Guest Faculty, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and the project was supervise by Prof. Soumik Roy, Head, Dept. of Electrical Engineering.
"The purpose of the project was to design a portable mechanical ventilator by automating the operation of 'Ambu Bag' with volume control ventilation which can be used in respiratory failure", explained Prof. Soumik Roy.
The prototype of the ventilator is economical, and by using IoT as a remote controlling feature, one can control and monitor the ventilatory parameters through mobile phones and computers, he said, adding that it will prevent both the clinicians and the doctors from getting infected through airborne transmission.
