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.

One of our greatest concern is the lack of highly trained staff and the ambiguity of Information about COVID-19. In other parts of our project we want to analyze data of thousands of patient where we are able to let the computer analyze even every single breath, including the oxygen intake and CO2 emission, patient temperature, lung compliance and airway resistance etc. We hope to bring this information together in context with existing studies and learn more about the disease.

However, knowledge is only potential power. Only when it is used and applied throughout the world that research is of real value. We are therefore aspiring to create a free interactive online school for the treatment of COVID-19 where participants can learn how to operate a ventilator and when to apply which treatment based on a disease model that we hope the data will bring forth. It will take time to develop that model but not longer than this pandemic will wreak havoc especially in developing countries, there is a lot that has to be done before the final level of online training can be achieved

If you feel you have the knowledge and skills necessary to assist with this position and you are interested in volunteering with us, please apply directly through our organization here: https://jira.ardenmed.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/11/create

The first step is to create a clear and beginner-friendly knowledge base of the current COVID-19 treatment protocols that will be accessible within the ventilator interface itself (which can be displayed on any web browser). We have to write an easy to understand manual and translate it in as many languages as possible, prepare an online training program for the use of this particular interface and then move on to ventilator training in general and then to COVID-19 treatment in general. All this will be a very fast-paced and difficult process but it will lead to less long term complications and more saved lives. We also hope that this will have a positive impact on the quality of healthcare workers in developing countries in general

We are Engineers. Our team is growing rapidly but we need more medical experts involved. We need experts who have long year experience with teaching healthcare workers and ideally know how to treat COVID-19 patients.

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
