• Research summary

  In the future, we intend to develop a new computer program which will help doctors to manage patients in need of ventilation. We need to collect information about current patients who need ventilation in order to develop our software.
  We would like to collect anonymous data from ventilated patients using a programme called "Arc Tool". We will send this anonymous data to our collaborators at the University of Sheffield who will use it to create part of the computer program.
