"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!
