Technical and electronical solutions to mitigate risks for covid-19 infections

During the covid-19 outbreak, intense caregiving was required in treating too many infected patients, compared to the capacity of personel and equipment. In particular, this pressure resulted in inter alia bottlenecks in power supply of active respiratory protectors as used in the intensive care unit of UZA. By using CAD, 3D printing and electronic components, our collaborators Sam Smedts and Jochen Vleugels resolved these bottlenecks. Their solution has significantly contributed to the fact that "not a single caregiver of the ICU was infected with covid", according to UZA, our client in this small but high impact fee-for-service project. In this project we delivered solutions that protect ehalth care providers at University hospitals
