Oversized tanks have long been the method for individuals to keep their own supply of oxygen on hand, but the 'Aerate' oxygen concentrator is positioned as a far more versatile solution for patients to utilize. The 'Aerate' works by packing a series of advanced technological components into the unit and making it capable of providing fresh oxygen to the user at all times when they need it. This eliminates the need for a traditional oxygen tank to keep them as mobile as possible without having to lug their heavy gear with them.
The 'Aerate' oxygen concentrator is the design work of Courtney Rolland and identifies how oxygen needs could be met without having patients keep heavy gear with them at all times.
