February 2022 AIRA will be featured in Health Design Thinking, Second Edition book as part of the exhibition that’s available NOW through Feb 2023 in NYC!

TVP Health is the only US based nonprofit to have received FDA approval for emergency use. With over 200 volunteers, TVP Health was able to develop a rapid, scalable, and low-cost ventilator - AIRA - to improve access to ventilators for the world’s most vulnerable populations. As a secondary goal, through AIRA’s development processes, TVP Health aims to provide future economic opportunity (jobs) for Americans.

All money collected is used to make ventilators and bring the product to market through the proper regulatory pathways for broadest global reach.

The United States is dominating the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. After social distancing and lockdowns for over a year, it’s great to see all of the countries come together and compete. However, we’d be remiss not to acknowledge that some of the nations present at the Olympics do not have access to an adequate supply of Covid vaccines or life-saving medical devices. The Delta variant is projected to cause another rise in global cases and it’s important that these nations’ hospitals are ready for the next surge. Even before Covid-19, ventilators were extremely expensive and in short supply. When the pandemic exposed this shortage, we decided to do something about it—thus the very reason why TVP Health was created in the first place. We want to give everyone, anywhere in the world, an opportunity for a long and healthy life by providing innovative and affordable medical devices.

You have probably heard about the COVID-19 Delta variant in recent weeks. Due to conflicting news stories regarding the recent spread of the variant and the true threat it poses, however, a clear understanding of the variant may be hard to reach. But not for long—TVP Health has you covered. Our latest blog post serves as a compilation of the most important facts pertaining to the origination of the variant and its development into a global crisis.

In the last several months since our previous newsletter, we have seen major changes in both the coronavirus pandemic as well as our organization. These major changes include the achievement of Emergency Use Authorization for our AIRA ventilator and a rebrand from The Ventilator Project to TVP Health.

UPDATE: We are thrilled to announce that our ventilator, AIRA, has received Emergency Use Authorization!

EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) is an authorization set by the FDA that facilitates increased availability of medical devices which can help the country in times of significant need. The process to get an EUA, though expedited, is still vigorous and typically takes much longer, and with many more resources than an all volunteer team- But in one year, we did it.

This unlocks a whole new phase of growth and advancement for our team, and we could not be more excited to make a direct impact on hospitals and countries around the globe. Follow our journey, donate, or join our volunteer staff at www.theventilatorproject.org!

Today is .

It claimed the lives of 672,000 children in 2019. And as COVID-19 persists, this could increase 'all-cause' pneumonia deaths by more than 75%. But it doesn't have to be the case.

The Gates Foundation reminds us that pneumonia is:
💉 Preventable with vaccines
🔎Detectable with x-rays
💊Treatable with oxygen, antibiotics and other simple medication

Projections by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation puts the current global demand for ventilators at 82,489, which has increased by 15,734 this week. However, that number will is expected to grow. By February 2021, it is projected that the India will have a demand for 52,184 ventilators. By January 2021, Russia and the United States will need 16,488 and 14,015 more ventilators respectively.

Even before COVID-19, ventilators were in short supply and overwhelmingly expensive. The demand for these life-saving machines have been exacerbated by the pandemic, which is why we’re dedicated to bringing the AIRA to life. https://theventilatorproject.org/
