Also, this would be a good time to make a donation; we just got paid for our work for NASA on their advanced oxygen concentrator but even after this income we have only $22,000 left in our coffers.
We are making great progress on the PolyVent ventilator and General Purpose Alarm Device which is being co-developed with the Sustainable Progress and Equality Collective (SPEC).
Also, Public Invention is co-leading, along with Open Source Medical Supplies, a new alliance of many non-profits working in this space to create a systematic Quality Assurance System for Open Source medical devices. We plan to use some light crypto technology to implement the motto “Trust Through Transparency”.
Finally, Don’t Be a Stranger! Rob, the President of Public Invention, is happy to answer your emails personally if you have any questions. There is so much going on at Public Invention that we may not be sharing it all effectively.
Remember, even more than we need donations of money, we need donations of your project ideas (if you are willing to share them with the world under an open-source license) and, even more than that—we need volunteer inventors and invention coaches! Volunteering for Public Invention is always educational and usually leads (sometimes after a long time) to academic publications.
