ICreate unveils critical healthtech devices to fight COVID-19

International Centre for Entrepreneurship and Technology (iCreate), an autonomous centre of excellence of the Government of Gujarat, has announced the launch of critical health-tech devices developed by three respective startups incubated with the institution. The devices will help in altering ICU ventilators to host multiple patients at the same time and augmenting large scale oxygen supply chains. Developed by Social Hardware, 3D printed splitter is a unique ventilator expansion device that allows a single ventilator to support up to two or four patients during a time of acute equipment shortage. The startup also has developed a second device; Venturi Valve Respirator that can be used for airflow control through varying its annular orifice to modulate the flow of air. On the other hand, the IoT-enabled solution Chief Beta (Industrial IoT Gateway) developed by Limelight IT solutions, is an industrial gateway that can easily plug into the oxygen supply lines of hospitals and allied healthcare institutions to monitor, perform audits, detect and send leakage alerts, and Oxyter developed by RedCarbon TechnoHub is a portable Oxygen Generator that works on Electrolysis.
