Engineering World Health (EWH) - CPAP

Project Overview

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is a common condition in preterm babies where there is a lack of surfactant in their lungs, resulting in difficulty keeping their lungs expanded. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines are commonly used to assist preterm babies in breathing. The goal is to design and fabricate a CPAP machine that is affordable, reliable, and can withstand the environment constraints of developing countries.
