A technology start-up in Tiruchi has developed oxygen therapy equipment that may well address shortage of oxygen faced by hospitals. “The highlight of the invention is providing oxygen therapy for two patients with one LPM oxygen concentrator, along with two NIV R20. This implies there is no need for oxygen cylinders; the product will be of significant utility in remote villages and hill stations, besides cities reeling under oxygen shortage. “We are also in the process of fulfilling orders placed by the Indian Navy for 20 units of the equipment. Senior officials of the Health Department and the district administration have been apprised about the utility of the equipment, G. Raveendran, General Manager of District Industries Centre, Tiruchi, said.
