Hungarian scientists design a ventilator able to help up to 50 patients to breathe
Change language:
The scientists of the Óbuda University design the machine and, of course, it would be used to help coronavirus patients to breathe. Such constructions are not only needed to pump air into the lungs of the patients but also have to clean the virus-rich air coming out of their body. Therefore, it can help doctors and nurses to avoid catching any diseases while walking around the patients. Furthermore, another advantage of the new machine will be that it can be used even outside the hospitals.Â
The nonprofit MassVentil Project of the Research and Innovation Centre of the Óbuda University and the ABC Center of Intelligent Robotics has been running since the beginning of March, and many foreign scientists, Hungarian students and also companies joined to take part it. On April 1, professor József Bódis, state secretary responsible for knowledge and innovation management, asked about the details of the project during a video conference, so they already managed to place themselves on the government’s map.
