+# Vent Display
 A Ventilator Display that consumes PIRDS data and performs most clinical respiration calculations
+
+This is an important part of the Public Invention's goal of creating an opens source ventilator ecosystem.
+This is a stand-alone .html file with about a thousand lines of JavaScript that implements a clinical display
+that doctors want to see of an operting ventilator. It includes live data trace plots of pressure and flow, as
+well as calculated values such as tidal volume.

+
+You can see the vent-display from our [public data lake](http://ventmon.coslabs.com/), where you 
+can find both live and [static](http://ventmon.coslabs.com/breath_plot?i=71.245.238.32.test_file_name.20200612135337) displays.

+# Vounteer Needed
+
+This is a project with a rich set of features that need to be added involving respiration calculations. 
+Additionally, there are GUI features such as as the ability to scroll back in time that need to be added. Please contact <read.robert@gmail.com> if you would like to volunteer.
