Performance Study of Cloud Connected Non-Invasive Ventilator with Interactive Web Portal

Ventilators have become the need of the hour in view of the pandemic COVID-19. Hospitals around the world have faced difficulty in managing the same. Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) involves offering breathing support in the form of a mask which can be a nasal or a face mask or a helmet. The proposed work analyses the design aspects of a helmet-based NIV and its effective management through the usage of a dedicated website capable of communicating with the ventilator directly. The entire analysis is carried out using the simulated ventilator model on Simulink. The communication aspects are tested by conveying necessary information to ThingSpeak, an IoT based analytics platform, which can be accessed by the user through a website. The website can be used to check availability of ventilators at places.
