Emergency-Use Respiratory Device

A portable emergency ventilator system, comprising:

• a plurality of sensors configured to generate sensor data regarding pressure, flow rate, tidal volume, oxygen content, and/or other information regarding the ventilator system;
• a microcontroller including a plurality of independent cores;
• and
• a microcomputer in communication with the microcontroller;
• wherein one of the plurality of independent cores of the microcontroller includes a state machine configured to control operating parameters of the ventilator system;
• wherein the microcontroller sends sensor data generated by the plurality of sensors to the microcomputer;
• wherein an artificial intelligence (AI) module of the microcomputer generates a digital twin of the patient with waveforms constructed from the sensor data;
• wherein the AI module generates updates to models for operating the ventilator system and wherein the microcomputer sends messages including the updates to the models to the microcontroller;
• and
• wherein the state machine of the microcontroller automatically updates the parameters of the ventilator system based on the messages from the microcomputer.

A method for operating a ventilator system, comprising:

• connecting an inspiratory tubing and an expiratory tubing to a patient;
• operating an inhalation flow generator to provide air to the patient through the inspiratory tubing;
• a microcontroller of the ventilator system sending sensor data from a plurality of sensors connected to the inspiratory tubing, the expiratory tubing, and/or the inhalation flow generator to a microcomputer;
• an artificial intelligence (AI) module of the microcomputer generating a digital twin of the patient with waveforms constructed from the sensor data;
• and
• the AI module generating updates to models for operating the ventilator system and sending the updates to the microcontroller.
