Abstract
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, brought with it an unprecedented surge in the demand for ventilators. The resultant shortage of these life-saving medical devices exposed a critical gap in healthcare systems worldwide. In response, a global community of DIY enthusiasts, engineers, and healthcare professionals initiated projects aimed at designing and developing DIY ventilators. Many of these projects have harnessed the accessibility, affordability, and versatility of Arduino microcontrollers, an open-source electronics platform. The proposed system aims to fulfill the need of the portable ventilators by providing: Cost effective Easily accessible to everyone Production Locally This comprehensive review paper delves deeply into these DIY ventilator projects, specifically those incorporating Arduinobased solutions, with a primary focus on their design principles, functionalities, safety considerations, regulatory compliance, technological advancements, and the associated challenges and opportunities. The analysis presented in this review is drawn from a wide range of references, including peer-reviewed articles, guidance documents, and original research.
