HACKERS and HOSPITALS is an effort to coordinate Hackers with Hospitals during an immediate time of need.

The wiki is divided into four sections: Participate, Needs, Resources, and Efforts. Participate is a list of ways that anyone can help with the project. Needs are specific hospitals that are requesting help. Resources are projects that are working toward helping. Efforts are groups that are working on the various projects.

Participate

We need to help coordinate the medical needs of hospitals with local area fabricators. We have a large number of healthcare professionals, hackers, makers, engineers, biomedical innovators, and crafters. If we can all work together, we can save lives.

Participate is a list of ways that anyone can help with the project.

If you have any suggestions, questions or comments regarding HACKERS and HOSPITALS, you can contact: michael at fsf.org

Needs

Needs are specific hospitals and organizations that are requesting help.

These Hospitals have put out a public call for help. I would advise against shipping things from far away. If your local hospitals are not listed, reach out to them to find out their needs.

Resources

Resources are projects that are working toward helping.

Before fabricating any equipment, check first with your local hospitals to see if this is what they need and will use. Each hospital will have its own requirements.

Ventilators

Vent Specifications

Ventilator specifications can help hackers design and understand how a ventilator works.

Vent Designs

Ventilator designs are plans and projects that need help designing a quick solution. Most projects require testing before clinical use.

Vent Splitting

Ventilator Splitting could potentially increase the patient capacity of commercial ventilators.

Note: This method is controversial and has many obstacles to overcome. Read the criticisms of this method before testing as there are problems that must be addressed. Read as much about this as you can before considering this route for patients.

Vent Parts

Ventilator Parts could be used for ventilators with ventilators in an emergency situation.

Contact Tracing:

Contact tracing is a highly controversial topic in our community as the implementation would also need to respect the privacy of the individual. This is a difficult task especially if the frontend or backend is proprietary and centralized. Once a system like this is built, can it be turned off? Will the data be used against its users? Will the system be opt-in or forced upon users with a system update?

  • DP-3T Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing
    • How? Phones generate randomized IDs that is broadcasted to nearby devices. Phones remember these IDs, and IDs they received. Upon infection, saved random IDs (the ones sent, not the ones seen) are uploaded to a database that is trusted to, and only to, not add fake EphIDs, or remove any events, and to be available. A few times a day, check the database of your local authority to see if any new IDs match any seen IDs.
