Personal Respirator for the Developing World developed during COVID-19 pandemic
The PeRSo-DW project team, including Global-NAMRIP members Professor Paul Elkington, Professor Hywel Morgan, Dr Alex Dickinson, Dr Diana Garay-Baquero and Dr Clint Styles have developed a new technology to support healthcare workers in as many parts of the world as possible during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The team have designed a personal respirator and published the open specification allowing local manufacturers to adapt the specification depending on the resources they have available.
Initial information can be found on the ÃÛÌÒTV website . This is being updated constantly with detailed information to help people make their own versions of PeRSo-DW. It also includes a link where you can sign up for updates.
