Matt talks with Ben May. Ben is a production designer & engineering specialist with 30 years of experience making products from mobile phone components to medical devices.

He is a connector and leader in the London 'Maker' community and wants to understand what the medical community will need, and how the wider maker community can help?

Is it ventilators or medical supplies, door handles (that avoid transmission) to home health products? Ben asks, what needs to be made?

Can the unthinkable be done in relation to certification relaxation such as CE marks and FDA licensing?

Ben has insight into the supply chain and the road ahead, and questions he would like answers to.
