Do you want to save hundreds of lives? We are building a remote low-cost COVID-19 Treatment system consisting of a sophisticated Ventilator, an oxygen concentrator, a biometric sensor and a remote drug administration system.
The Ventilator is well on its way to being finished and is the most complicated part of the system. Its extensive sensing system allows us to gather enough data to monitor the patient's disease progression and analyse which problems might play a strong feature in this specific patient. With this information, drugs can be administered gradually, exactly when needed and cause and effects can be monitored much more precisely which will be used to learn more about the virus.
There are various options for how such a system might be realized. We are looking to build a small team of qualified people that can research the resources necessary to make decisions on the design of the remote medication system, as well as finishing both the software and the hardware of it.
We also must research the various alternatives of drugs used in most common treatment protocols in COVID-19 and find out how each of them can be administered.
Open Positions for this team:
- Pharmacist to research possible choices of drugs (2+ years of experience, ideally knowledge of current medication protocols for COVID-19)
- Mechanical Engineer to finalize the CAD drawings of the system and toolings for injection moulding. (must have at least developed CAD drawings that have been realized previously)
- Software Engineer to finalize the control system (1+ years of professional fulltime C++ experience)
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/plugins/servlet/loginfreeRedirMain?portalid=11&request=100

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.
