After winning the Y-Prize Newborn Challenge in 2015, these doctors have created a new ventilator that could save thousands.
In the words of his partner, Dr. Erick Gerday is a "fiddler," and it was Gerday's fiddling, along with his collaboration with Dr. Stephen Minton that lead to a simple, yet affordable life-saving invention.
The two men are primaries at the neonatal department at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo.
The men have worked for years in developing nations and saw a need for a ventilator that rural clinics in countries like Cambodia could afford.
