Canterbury University engineers have invented a new device that could save lives as Covid cases surge around the world.
Known as the ACTIV system for short, it means two patients can use a ventilator at the same time.
Distinguished Professor Geoff Chase, from Canterbury University's Mechanical Engineering department and Centre for Bio-Engineering, joins Jesse to explain the benefits.
