GCMI is supporting GT to document and manufacture a mechanical barrier that will contain contamination during the intubation process.

We’re MedLynk, an Award Winning* Georgia Tech Create-X group that has developed a predictive algorithm for manufacturers that have retooled to make PPE. Our solution can help focus the attention of PPE suppliers by predicting demand for PPE due to high COVID-19 cases, and lists the most vulnerable healthcare facilities in each county.

To scale production of water jetted face shield components and 3D printed mask/ventilator parts.

GCMI's objective for this project is to design controls, quality controls, manufacturing guidance, etc. for producing face shields.
 

To develop an open-source design of the shield, which is easy to mass produce. 
 

There are an estimated 1,300 pop-up Covid-19 testing facilities in the country, with the number continuing to grow to meet the needs of the area. While these testing centers allow more people to access vital tests, the rapid, un-standardized proliferation of Covid-19 testing centers has made it challenging for testing results to be communicated downstream to hospitals and doctors.

This project created a comfortable and long-wear protective mask for essential workers that allows for optimizable protection in various environments. The mask aims to alleviate uncomfortable, prolonged wear associated with effective masks through the use of adaptable features such as soft straps, valve flow adjustments, and fabric replacement.

Develop a wearable device for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by Covid-19 and pneumonia.

Create a low-cost, fast to manufacture ventilator unit that is an assembly of existing devices and complies with the Food and Drug Administration's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).

The aim of this project is to support projects related to Covid-19 that have no intellectual property associated with them.
