Background: Despite becoming widely available in the developed world for nearly 50 years, mechanical ventilation remains decades away from being implemented in many resource-poor areas around the world. Considering India alone, 920 million people live without access to intensive care leaving roughly 1 million neonates a year born requiring mechanical ventilation for which they have no access to. Methods: Project Tiger Breath is a university-based engineering and design program aimed at delivering a low-cost mechanical device that use a self-inflating ambu bag to deliver mechanized ventilation. Results: Project Tiger Breath to date has completed the first round of prototypes. The masters paper discusses a program and evaluation plan for the future of the implementation. Conclusions: Delivering a biomechanical device to the developing world requires a great deal of coordination, planning, and design. Project Tiger Breath outlines a 10 year plan and discusses some of the critical steps in creating, testing, and distributing the product.Master of Public Healt
