We are a non-profit organization building an infrastructure to develop, manufacture, distribute and operate remote-controlled ventilators and oxygen concentrators that will also gather high-resolution treatment data for scientific research and treatment optimization.

Intensive care specialists are needed to help set up the rudimentary training and advice parameters to enable a degree of automated actuation of the emergency ventilator equipment. The aim is to establish and maintain protection mechanisms of this equipment in a substandard field environment where there may be no direct medical supervision of the required appropriate standard.

In time, statistical treatment suggestions based on the patient background and disease progression should be implemented as well

The equipment will be capable of being monitored and manipulated remotely by qualified professionals. However, failsafe design parameters of the equipment must protect patient safety in rudimentary clinics and medical system overload scenario homecare situations when no skilled medical supervision is available. User available settings under such circumstances must not exceed safe settings for the patient profile.

Furthermore, we are seeking to develop a free virtual training school that lets the participants interact with the data trained disease model that is simultaneously developed in a different team. The goal would be to develop several types of courses including a crash course for respiratory therapists to practice with this particular ventilator, remote care training for those wanting to give oversight over people in different countries and even full COVID-19 treatment training using additional videos and online exams.

Of course, nothing can replace hands-on training but in such global emergencies and especially in countries where almost no qualified professionals exist, we consider free and massively scalable training to be very valuable, probably more valuable than a ventilator itself.

Minimal Requirements:

  • Hands-on experience with COVID-19 intensive care treatment
  • a clear and structured approach to medical treatment in general, ideally developed while training others
  • up to date on COVID-19 research
  • strong fundamental knowledge enabling to think about the cause and effect of COVID-19
  • Ability to reason from first principles rather than blindly following common practices
Additional optimal Requirements
  • long year teaching experience
  • experience with treatment planning/automation

Mission Statement

Our mission is to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the world's medical workforce fighting COVID-19

Description

Every Year 4.2 million children under 5 are desperate for oxygen. 800,000 mothers lose their child every year because of Pneumonia, a lung disease often requiring oxygen. This toll is higher than for any other disease in the world. What hospitals in the US and Europe consider one of the most essential treatments is not available for many. The problem, oxygen concentrators keep breaking down in the high humidity, temperature and dust environments, burn through during energy spikes when the power comes back online after one of the many outages or simply breaks and nobody knows how to repair it.

We have set out to change this and develop an oxygen concentrator that will make public health investments much more effective. Our first calculations suggest that we could lower the cost of a child's life by as much as two-thirds. Due to our organization working with volunteers we can reduce the development cost but bringing a medical device to market is hard work and we expect that you meet the requirements and are responsive and transparent with your skills and availability. If our mission sounds important and exciting to you, learn more about us on www.ardenmed.com and apply for one of our open positions through our platform! http://jira.ardenmed.com/plugins/servlet/loginfreeRedirMain?portalid=16&request=136
