HACKERS and HOSPITALS is an effort to coordinate hackers with medical professionals to make the world a better place.
The wiki is divided into two sections: Participate and Resources. Participate is a list of ways that anyone can help with the project. Resources are projects that are working toward helping.
Participate
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we needed to help coordinate the medical needs of hospitals with local area fabricators. HACKERS and HOSPITALS is no longer limited to fighting against COVID-19.
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.
As of 20230105, HACKERS and HOSPITALS lists 149 projects.
Participate is a list of ways that anyone can help with the project.

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.
