Every patient needs a unique set of parameters (rate/pressures/air volume, etc.), a single design for simultaneous multiple patients is complex and beyond the scope. -- Nam Ly on Agorize

I think this concept could be adapted for a single patient if the rotating half-circle valves were instead arranged such that there was a gap (for expiration) between inspiration from chamber A and chamber B, with air feeding to the (single) patient using either chamber.
