With the current rapid spread of COVID-19, global health systems are increasingly overburdened by the sheer number of people that need diagnosis, isolation and treatment. Shortcomings are evident across the board, from staffing, facilities for rapid and reliable testing to availability of hospital beds and key medical-grade equipment. The scale and breadth of the problem calls for an equally substantive response not only from frontline workers such as medical staff and scientists, but from skilled members of the public who have the time, facilities and knowledge to meaningfully contribute to a consolidated global response. Here, we summarise community-driven approaches based on Free and Open Source scientific and medical Hardware (FOSH) as well as personal protective equipment (PPE) currently being developed and deployed to support the global response for COVID-19 prevention, patient treatment and diagnostics.

利用开放硬件减轻 COVID-19 对全球卫生系统的负担。

随着当前新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 的迅速传播，需要诊断、隔离和治疗的人数众多，全球卫生系统的负担日益沉重。从人员配备、快速可靠检测的设施到病床和关键医疗级设备的可用性，各个方面的缺点都很明显。这一问题的规模和广度不仅需要医务人员和科学家等一线工作人员做出同样实质性的反应，还需要有时间、设施和知识的熟练公众做出同样实质性的反应，他们有时间、设施和知识，为全球统一应对措施做出有意义的贡献。在这里，我们总结了基于免费开源科学和医疗硬件 (FOSH) 以及目前正在开发和部署的个人防护设备 (PPE) 的社区驱动方法，以支持全球应对 COVID-19 预防、患者治疗和诊断。
