OpenBreath – CERN

The Open Breath project aims at fighting the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, the project is, and always will, essentially open-source. The project material, in its entirety, will be fully released through our website and scientific collaboration platforms, such as GitHub.

The assisted ventilation device we are developing aims at satisfying two main requirements: constructive speed and simplicity of its components. For this reason, Open Breath lung ventilator exhibits an innovative design, conceived to be quickly built with “off-the-shelf” and low-cost hardware components.
