TVP Health

TVP Health, formerly known as The Ventilator Project, is a Boston-based nonprofit medical device organization founded in 2020 in response to ventilator shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization focuses on designing and developing lower-cost ICU ventilators intended to improve scalability, storability, affordability, and safety for hospitals and health systems. Its lead product is the AIRA ventilator, a mechanical ventilation device developed for critical care use and designed for rapid manufacturing and deployment. The group was launched by robotics entrepreneur Tyler Mantel and built through a large volunteer engineering network drawn from technology and medical-device-adjacent industries. TVP Health appears to operate as a private nonprofit rather than a therapeutics biotech company, with activity centered on medtech product development rather than a drug pipeline.
