Users should have the RIGHT TO DONATE their SMARTPHONES and TABLETS for use in LIFE SAVING EQUIPMENT, instead of their FULLY FUNCTIONAL DEVICES being SHREDDED.
See: https://9to5mac.com/2016/02/17/recycled-iphone-what-happens/

Examples of how Smartphones and Tablets can be Re-purposed are:
As the Embedded Controller for a Ventilator;
As a Coronavirus Detection and Test station for deployment remotely, on the roadside, in
Hospitals, and in the home;
As a low cost Nurse Station for Hospitals, and in Intensive Care Units.

Invite Apple, Google, Samsung, Huawei etc. to update their firmware so that users can choose to Re-purpose their Phones and Tablets at the end of the warranty period.

This modification would take less than one day of programmer time per product line.
