Canadian doctor turns one ventilator into nine
Dr Alain Gauthier, an anesthetist at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital in Ontario, Canada rigged one of the ventilators by watching YouTube videos created by two Detroit doctors in 2006
It may hospitals trying to use the equipment having shortage.

Designing a low-cost, open source ventilator with Arduino
ARDUINO TEAM — March 17th, 2020
See the article for the need for information from doctors for the design as well as operation to work. It is complicated and not simple.

Ventilators cost hospitals from $3,000 up to $40,000
Matthew Callaghan they just push air around. It isn't complicated engineering. You don't need all the bells and whistles." That thought was the impetus behind the OneBreath, the ventilator Callaghan invented with a small team of fellow Stanford biodesign students. The device is just a fraction of the cost of a low-end conventional ventilator, runs on a 12-volt battery for six to 12 hours at a time, and is smaller than a toolbox so it can be easily deployed wherever needed.
Callaghan started from scratch with a basic pressure sensor, typically used in devices like blood-pressure meters, that cost about $10.

It can be value engineering or frugal engineering. It is value engineering when the services offered by the product are disturbed but cost is brought down. It is frugal engineering when the product is redesigned to offer lesser but essential services required by low income users.
