This combination of simplicity and effectiveness is what made the system a trailblazing contribution to emergent healthcare solutions.
challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. India faced shortages of critical medical equipment, overwhelmed hospitals, and an urgent need for innovative solutions. In response, We at our ATL robotics laboratory developed a cost-effective emergency ICU and ventilation system. This system provided an affordable alternative to complex ventilators, making it accessible in resource-limited settings. It was designed for ease of use, requiring minimal specialised training, and featured an intuitive interface to allow healthcare providers to focus on patient care. Tailored for specific emergency scenarios, the automated ICU system delivered reliable respiratory support, helping to alleviate the burden on overwhelmed healthcare facilities.
2. Methodology The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light significant gaps in global healthcare systems. Hospitals were inundated, essential medical supplies were scarce, and healthcare workers were stretched thin. To address these challenges, our robotics laboratory developed an innovative solution: a cost-effective emergency ICU and ventilation system. This system was designed to be intuitive and automated, providing crucial respiratory support in emergency situations. This research paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of our project, focusing on its design, implementation, and real-world impact. The intuitive design of the emergency ICU and ventilation system was one of its key features. It was engineered with a user-friendly interface that allowed healthcare providers to operate it with minimal training. The system was automated, reducing the need for constant manual intervention and allowing healthcare workers to focus more on patient care. The design also incorporated specific settings for different emergent scenarios, making it adaptable and efficient. This meant that the system could be tailored to the specific needs of a patient, providing personalised care. Furthermore, the system was designed to be robust and reliable, ensuring that it could function effectively even in high-pressure situations. In essence, the intuitive design of the system was all about making it as easy as possible to use while still providing high-quality, life-sustaining care.
The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, leading to shortages of essential medical equipment and straining healthcare infrastructure. The lack of ventilators worsened patient outcomes, highlighting the need for quick solutions. Healthcare workers were overburdened, emphasising the necessity of automated systems. Our system was designed to work effectively in diverse healthcare contexts and included a remote monitoring system, enabling healthcare providers and medical experts to monitor patients without physical interaction.

2.1 Development of Ventilator Model Our developed ventilator is an electromechanical device that automates the compression of an airbag resuscitator to deliver airflow to patients in emergencies. The foundational concepts from OxyGEN project for this device were retained due to its proven effectiveness in medical testing, which showed promising results in both animal and human preclinical trials.
