We foster global health innovation from classroom to clinic.
With an aim to innovate & deploy cost-effective, patient-centered medical devices in the global health context, Project Prana inaugurated its efforts with the iSAVE, a rapid and safe respiratory expansion device. Today, Project Prana teaches the principles of healthcare innovation to young innovators, so they can join us in reimagining global health systems for a more equitable future.
Our Vision
We are working to find solutions to inequities and inadequacies in healthcare through innovative, cost-effective, and patient-centered engineering in the global health context.
OUR AWARD WINNING MEDICAL DEVICE
iSAVE (Individualized System for Augmenting Ventilator Efficacy)
iSAVE was researched and prototyped to alleviate the bottleneck in respiratory care capacity in hospitals. In 2020, we created a device that has the ability to immediately and safely double the capacity of ventilators, C-PAP machines, and high-flow oxygen concentrators and in turn double the number of patients you can serve at a tenth of the cost.
Our Team
We are a team of engineers, doctors, educators, business strategists, and designers deeply invested in increasing equity in healthcare. We believe that the impact of any innovation crucially depends on how many people have access to it.
