Looming ventilator shortage amid pandemic sparks rise of open-source DIY medical kit. Good thinking – but safe?

Ventilificator (conversion kit)

I designed hardware to control any air pump that operates with a brushed DC motor, such as an air mattress pump, which conveniently has a pressure (1psi=70cmh2o) that is reasonably close to what a ventilator can do (tens of cmh2o).

I call it the Ventilificator. The idea is to create a "conversion kit" that converts an air pump into a rudimentary ventilator.

I'm looking for someone to take over the project (firmware, pm, logistics, etc.); I don't have enough time to do more than hardware.
