Open Source Fights COVID-19
summary
A Raspberry Pi–based ventilator design uses commodity plumbing and car parts plus a microcomputer to run about 200 lines of Python and pilots a pump and valve assembly. The prototype ran non-stop for five days on artificial lungs, passed animal tests and moved to human trials by May. Parallel efforts use open source AI and HPC clusters to screen drug databases and to read chest x‑rays with about 96% accuracy in 20 seconds.
