Project: Ventigram, A National Registry for Ventilator Supply and Consumption

Summary:

“Big tech needs to rapidly build and scale a cloud-based, national, ventilator surveillance platform, [that] will track individual hospital ICU capacity and ventilator supply across the nation in real-time.”

Ventigram would operate like Instagram, where hospitals self register and identify their ICU capacity and what their ventilator supply is. People who have ventilators could simultaneously register and identify how many ventilators they have. You could create a bidding process, also allowing people who want to donate money would be able to fund hospitals’ bids.

Sustainable Development Goals:

  • Good Health and Well-Being

  • Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

  • Reducing Inequality

  • Sustainable Cities and Communities

  • Responsible Consumption and Production

Skills & Resources Needed:

  • Technical - full-stack development/ testing/ continuous deployment, integration and testing

  • Non-technical - healthcare marketing and public relations, NGO healthcare marketing and public relations, government healthcare marketing, and public relations

  • Datasets - prime database of a new system with one or more hospital supply company inventories and one hospital inventory dataset

  • Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) - software engineers, healthcare administrators, healthcare logistics/ supply chain, public relations

Post-Capsule Goals:

  • Incubator Program

  • Accelerator Program

  • Private Research Program

Project Motivation:

The passionate pleas of doctors, nurses, and the governors of CA, NY, and Washington and the lack of execution on anyone's part to solve the problem. And this problem is completely solvable with software.
