Matthew Levin MD
Dr. Levin is a quadruple board certified Professor of Adult Cardiac Anesthesiology practicing at a large academic medical center in New York City. Throughout his career, he has been on the forefront of innovation in the use of data science and AI in medicine. During COVID-19, he returned to his engineering roots and was instrumental in driving ventilator innovation. With over 20 years experience in healthcare and technology, he is now committed to disrupting the large volume infusion pump market.
Innovating Under Pressure
Dr. Levin has substantial experience with medical device development. During the COVID-19 crisis Dr. Levin led a multi-disciplinary group to drive innovation in ventilators by working with both the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and industry partners.
Flow Control Valve
Working with Stryker, Dr. Levin developed a novel flow control valve that allowed one ventilator to be used to ventilate two patients. The team went from first prototype to FDA Emergency Use Authorization in six weeks.
NASA VITAL Ventilator
Dr. Levin also worked with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to clinically validate JPL’s design of the VITAL Ventilator, a low-cost high pressure ventilator designed to be rapidly produced using domestically sourced parts.
