I was president of the IET for 2016-17, and have been asked by government to gather practical and innovative ideas from our Engineering communities. So, please enter any ideas you might have in this thread that might help address and mitigate the Covid-19 crisis. Ideas might include digital tracking / monitoring through therapy equipment and beyond. Even ideas outside your usual expertise domain will be welcome. Now’s the time for Engineering to show we can change the world!
Zoe Webster, Data Economy Director at Innovate UK asks if we know of any firms in the Dagenham area (or within commuting distance) who might have spare/furloughed electronics engineers (with technical grade electronic engineering skills) who might be able to help with ventilator assembly and testing in the immediate term. She wondered if IET might be able to identify relevant engineers or companies. Please respond to me directly::jeremy.watson@ucl.ac.uk
