COVID-19 Related Innovations/Initiatives at IIT Gandhinagar

COVID-19 Dashboard

This dashboard will help the administrators and hospitals to plan for optimized testing and post-lockdown operations to contain community infection. It is also being augmented with socio-economic vulnerability analysis. This network-Science based Epimediological spread model has been developed with Ahmedabad as a testbed. This dashboard would also equip stakeholders to simulate the effect of partial and leaky lockdowns on case trajectory, travel disruptions, and model congestion as the city returns back to normal life in near future.

Low-cost Ventilator

A working prototype has been developed after incorporating feedback from hospitals. Advanced patient-triggered ventilation modes like Assist Control, Pressure Support, and SIMV have been incorporated in the design. It includes a user-friendly mobile application to control and monitor the ventilator. A company is working with the IITGN team to produce the ventilators on the industrial scale.
