The project is a voluntary effort to help the nation at the time of crisis.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In the COVID-19 crisis, if a worst case scenario is assumed, about 0.006 percent of the population will require critical care with access to ventilators. For a population of 125 Crores, this translates to about 75,000 patients who might need ventilator access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Key highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The global supply chain has been severely disrupted due to the crisis, and there are no indications on when it will be restored. A group of Scientists and students in Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru have developed an indigenous ventilator prototype.<\/li>\n<li>The team in the Electrical Communication Engineering Department of Indian Institute of Science, led by Associate Professor Gaurab Banerjee has designed the ventilator using materials readily available in India.<\/li>\n<li>The prototype has mass flow sensors and controllers which accurately tell how much oxygen is flowing and what volume the patient is inhaling in one breath.<\/li>\n<li>Pneumatics is built around mass produced water filter hardware. The control system is built around open source industrial controller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>For more such notes, Articles, News &amp; Views Join our Telegram Channel.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"telegram Link\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/triumphias\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>https:\/\/t.me\/triumphias<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Click the link below to see the details about the UPSC \u2013Civils courses offered by Triumph IAS.<\/strong> <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" title=\"Courses available\" href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/pages-all-courses.php\">https:\/\/triumphias.com\/pages-all-courses.php<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relevance: Prelims: Science and technology Why in news?
