+## The design
+
+The design of the ventilator is based on the minimum standards published by the British government [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-ventilator-supply-specification/rapidly-manufactured-ventilator-system-specification)
+
+
+##Objectives
+
+- Design a ventilator composed of mechanical components freely available to most
+regions of the world.
+- Design a ventilator without the use of a Bellow or a “Bag”, which is either not
+available or limited in number in an emergency situation.
+- Minimize the use of mechanically moving components to increase durability.
+- Easily sourced and easily assembled by a technician with limited medical
+knowledge with off-the-shelf components.
+- Option to use “Wall” oxygen / oxygen cylinders or a combination.
+- Retain the capability to tolerate significant pressure difference or fluctuations.
+- Be effective while retaining all the safety features.
+- Maintain total cost of manufacture of the ventilator within affordable range,
+especially to support developing countries.
+- Use a programmable chip as a microcontroller which is a cheaper option yet be
+powerful enough for real-time calculations.
+- Use a visual aid (LCD) which is informative as well as user friendly.
+- Ensuring a safe, reliable and robust design on par with industry standards.
+
+
+## Functional specification
+
+- Functional Modes
+a. Pressure control Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (PC- CMV)
+b. Pressure control Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (PC-IMV)
+c. Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP)
+
+- Gas supply
+a. Air and O2 supplied separately
+b. Option to use wall connectors (4Bar) or Cylinder(Variable Pressure) - System can
+compensate for pressure drop/variation
+
+- Visual controls and digital features
+a. Feedback control of pressure and flow.
+b. Ventilator output for TV, RR, PEEP, PIP, MV, Spontaneous ventilation rate
+c. Alarms
+d. iOS and Android controller app with a dashboard to display patient data for
+remote monitoring
+e. Data analytic as an added feature for pattern recognition etc. for assisting
+doctors

 ## Overview
 
-As observed in the statistics so far, unrestricted availability of mechanical ventilators to the public will likely be a key factor in the success of fighting against the COVID-19 virus in infected countries.
-LibreRespire is a multi-disciplinary Sri Lankan team focused on developing an open-source design for a low cost, reliable and easily manufacturable ventilator to address this issue.
+An organized group of professionals from multiple disciplines focused on developing an  affordable, medical grade, robust,  open source  solution to acute shortage of mechanical ventilators due to COVID-19 pandemic. We have a core developer group collaborating online from different parts of the world, to design, build, test and validate the prototype.
+
+- Even-though the initiation of the project was due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the LibreRespire team will continue the development of this ventilator to provide this essential medical device at a fraction of the cost of a commercial ventilator to developing countries, which are in dire shortage of ventilators regardless of the COVID-19.
+
 
 ## Objective
 
-- Design the ventilator with easily sourced/manufactured or off-the-shelf components.
-- Maintain total cost of manufacture of the ventilator within affordable range, especially to support developing countries.
-- ensuring a safe, reliable and robust design on par with industry standards.
+To design, build and validate a mechanical ventilator which meets minimum standards for long term ventilation with the aid of 3D printed parts and easily sourced components  which can be customized for local needs.
+
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+The design will be publicly available for
+- Study
+- Modify
+- Distribute
+- Build
+- Sell the design or hardware.
