Milwaukee group of engineers/physicians is adapting the desktop droplet barrier for a mobile COVID-19 Test Bus to connect underserved communities with care. They have access to a hackerspace and lab equipment. Any ideas on how to find a bus?? #covidlifebus#sector67#covidassist
In case you missed it, we talked with @alison4WI@GHCSCW, a Wisconsin doctor who designed a device to help health care workers more safely test patients for COVID-19. See a photo and listen: https://t.co/khcs9RxPRS
@somegoodnews@GeorgeTakei Please retweet this thread and help us raise awareness about an Open Source idea for protecting health care workers. Let’s spark more innovation and volunteer spirit! Be well, from a pediatrician in Wisconsin
This is an update to the video I posted on March 19, 2020 about a handcrafted prototype of a Desktop Droplet Barrier for COVID-19 testing that we MacGyvered at Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin due to concerns about PPE shortages. (continued)
In light of the life-threatening, national PPE shortage, my team and I built a Plexiglas Droplet Barrier for COVID-19 testing. No health care worker should test patients without protection. We hope that this barrier will allow our staff to test patients safely
Please share this thread. Facing a national shortage of PPE, a Wisconsin Pediatrician collaborates with local innovators to create a desktop droplet shield to protect health care workers. @UWMadison@UWHealth@Meriter@GHCSCW@WIAAP@AAPNews@AAFP @StoughtonHosp @uwhealthkids
Only 9 days after the idea was sparked, we now have a full fledged product from a Midwest manufacturer ready to be shipped to health care organizations. Please share. I am speechless with gratitude for the team at Heartwood Creations. https://t.co/q92LZkonUC
