Anticipating a ventilator shortage in Europe during COVID-19, my team adapted a 2018 veterinary ventilator for human use. Despite resource and supply challenges, we registered it with Anvisa for non-life-support use within five months, with plans to produce up to 3,000 units monthly at the crisis's peak.

Although large-scale production was not realized due to timing, we continued improving the ventilator, integrating features like cloud connectivity to transmit critical ventilator and patient data. As a bonus, I gained valuable experience in how large-scale companies organize their development, production, and quality systems.
