Tamar Robotics founded by Technion-Israel Institute of Technology Mechanical Engineering Prof. Moshe Shoham is protecting medical teams who are at the front line in the battle against the coronavirus. Tamar Robotics has developed a protective hood enabling safer non-Invasive ventilation for COVID-19 Patients.

This creates a barrier between the patient and the medical staff. Multiple hoods can be connected to a single filtration system. One of the main benefits of using NIV hoods is that coronavirus patients can be treated in a non-invasive manner.

Non-invasive ventilation systems have not been used till now for these patients. ...more
