With the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the globe especially in the US and Europe, health systems are exceedingly strained. Many countries are experiencing shortages in personal protective equipment (PPE) and vital medical equipment such as ventilators. Dyson, the UK company best known for their stylish, high-tech vacuums, hair dryers, and air purifiers, has answered the call to arms and has developed a ventilator in collaboration with The Technology Partnership (TTP). Dubbed “The CoVent”, the bed-mounted, portable ventilator can run from battery power in field-hospital conditions, reports Fast Company.
