During the COVID-19 pandemic, around the middle of March 2020, we have been developing a simplified mechanical lung ventilator, called MVM (Mechanical Ventilator Milano), to answer the high request of ventilators for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in intensive care units. The ventilator is now produced and certified for use in the EU, USA, and Canada. In this experience, which - software side - involved more than 100 volunteer researchers towards software certification at the extreme of their strength, we collected a set of lessons learned.  From this experience, we now synthesized a set of guidelines that might help similar projects in the future. 

What do you think of these guidelines?
