About
Forty-five farmers commit suicide every day in India, most of them by poisoning, yet there is no immediate treatment available in remote villages. This low-cost, portable device will help to save lives where speed of treatment is key to survival. SURVIVE automates the gastric lavage process reducing the time required for treatment from 45 minutes to 2 - 5 minutes. Minimal training is required meaning it can be used when no emergency medical personnel are available, and time is not wasted as travelling to hospital is less likely to be necessary.
