In this paper, we propose the design and development of an Internet of thing based ventilator system. The ultimate vision of IoT is to upscale communication mechanisms with a highly distributed and significantly dense heterogeneous devices network. Recently world is under stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which causes severe respiratory distress. Therefore, it is essential to develop low-cost and high-efficiency technologies for real-time health detection and continuous treatment system. The IoT-based ventilator is a low-cost, respiratory monitoring, and controlling system. The designed and developed ventilator delivers breaths by compressing a conventional Ambu bag with the help of a fixed arm connected to a servo motor. It eliminates the need for a human operator for the bag valve mask. Tidal volume and number of breaths per minute are set via user-friendly input modes, which help in customizing the pressure according to the real-time requirements of the patient. It has a safety mode that is when the power supply goes down; the backup battery automatically kicks in. A built-in alerts system is embedded to activate and warn the local and the remote locations about any malfunctioning for immediate attention.
