FIGURES OF MERIT
Value Proposition: This technology is transformal in that 1. It is low-cost and yet nearly as functional as a hospital ventilator costing 10x the RoboVent 2. Portable, so it can be used anywhere, with the stretch goal of it working on a moving patient 3. Information / AI - It can transmit information and collectively the units can serve as a front end for future diagnosis 4. Remote control use - so the RoboVent can be used anywhere 5. Sourced from easy-to-obtain parts so it is not critically dependent on a brittle supply chain - this was a problem we observed during the first surge of the pandemic - we sould not build ventilators and other medical devices because they are required difficult-to-obtain components 6. Easy to Use
