The COVID Response Team is a dedicated not-for-profit organization comprising engineers, medical doctors, and researchers united by a mission to save lives amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing the critical shortage of supportive breathing equipment, their primary focus has been on developing and providing emergency ventilators to meet this urgent demand. Their efforts include practical demonstrations, such as Dr. David Cosgrave showcasing the safe use of their newly designed equipment to protect healthcare workers across Ireland, notably at University Hospital Galway. Additionally, the team has conducted UV testing using nebulized fluorescent dye to study aerosol behavior with and without face masks, highlighting the effectiveness of their equipment in enhancing safety measures during patient care.
