[chbot] [ventilators-nz] Workstreams

[Henri Shustak]

I see the main barrier in this space and getting them used in hospitals is red tape. But if the demand gets high enough maybe some of that red tape will get cut?

Most medical devices need quite a few certifications. Even just basic stuff that plugs into the mains in NZ and which is sold requires RCM certification. Happy to assist with that kind of basic electronic certification. But the medical side I am not familiar with in NZ or what other regions may require.

Hopefully, someone will know how to do that part.
