LifeMech is a voluntary, not-for-profit organization focused on building an open source, low-cost ventilator system for those in critical need. The plans to our FDA authorized device for emergency use are now available.
At the beginning at the pandemic in March 2020, I was asked to design the user interface for the ventilator project.
At the beginning at the pandemic in March 2020, I was asked to design the user interface for the ventilator project.
In the span of just a few weeks, a large, multidisciplinary team of volunteers coordinated on Slack and started organizing into specialty teams, holding daily scrums and rapidly prototyping a working ventilator.
I defined, designed, prototyped and led a team to implement a user interface on a Raspberry Pi powered touch screen suitable for use in a clinical setting while wearing protective gloves.

An engineering UI was prototyped and stubbed out for rapid development while all the input and display requirements were iteratively being defined. Final UI (above) was implemented in Python.
