In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many groups and individuals (from established university research laboratories, to concerned designers and hackers) have been developing a broad range of technologies to address the many crises surrounding the pandemic, such as the unavailability of PPEs in many countries. The SEADS collective has put together this directory to help you identify tech projects that might make a difference in your community.
While we pick which projects to list in this directory, we are neither offering medical advice through this directory nor evaluating these interventions in detail.
We strongly recommend that you refer to organisations that systematically evaluate evidence, such as the Oxford COVID-19 Evidence Service, Evidence Aid, Cochrane Resources and COVID-Evidence before making decisions on how to make use of these projects. As a lot of these DIY equipment are recently developed, not all of them have gone through strict regulatory procedures and therefore needs to be used under appropriate protocols and policies and evaluated for continuous use.If you would like us to list your project in this directory, or if you would like us to amend your listing, please email covid19@seads.network.
This project was realised with the support of the University of the Philippines.
