"When Ideas Become Reality" Stephen John and Joseph
Barnett at Western Michican University developed a device
that provides respiratory support to infants by delivering
pressure to prevent lung collapse; it is a simple, energy efficient,
safe, reliable and inexpensive way to provide biphasic positive
airway pressure and nasal intermittment positive pressure
ventilation for hospitals with limited resources. Just 2 years ago,
RTWB pitched this idea to Stephen, who along with his partner,
Joseph at Western Michigan University has turned it into reality!!
Thank you Stephen and Joseph and congratulations on your win for
the Lemelson 2015 "Cure It" prize!
