The concept may help to prevent the scenario that soon potentially thousands of COVID-19 patients will not be able to receive the necessary and sometimes life-saving respiratory support. This solution could be made available in very short time, because it is purely software based.}, subject = {Infektionskrankheit}, language = {en} }
