Patient Care

Open-MediciNE

The Open-MediciNE platform was developed in 2020 in response to the global supply shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe optimal patient care should never be solely dependent on the availability of durable medical goods.

The primary objective of the Open-MediciNE platform is to host free downloadable design schematics of innovative health care technologies. Many of the technologies on this platform have been validated to deliver on engineering parameters determined by each project team. The technologies on this platform may not have direct application to every user’s intended use case but we encourage the community use these design files as a baseline to improve upon.

All files hosted on this platform are intended for educational and research purposes only.
