Octavia Spencer is doing her part to help fight the coronavirus pandemic.

The 47-year-old Academy Award-winning actress donated Miku breathing monitors to both Baptist Health and the Montefiore Health System locations in Alabama, where she is from, and New York, the epicenter of the virus.

“I, like many of you, have felt helpless in knowing how to help during this time,” she captioned an Instagram post on Tuesday. “Seeing what is happening in the communities that I love, I have teamed up with @Mikucare to donate monitors to nursing and medical facilities in Alabama and New York to provide much needed relief to nurses as they navigate care for COVID-19 patients.”

Spencer described the benefits of the “contactless respiratory monitoring,” explaining that the technology “offers the ability to detect nuanced changes in breathing patterns. With the understanding that respiration is one of the earliest indicators of illness, Miku’s breathing monitoring can indicate potential onset before other symptoms present.”

The equipment also has a two-way talk and video feature for patients and medical professionals to communicate with each other. The “Hidden Figures” actress also donated one iPad to each of the facilities receiving the monitors to use with the system.

She concluded by urging her followers to do their part to help fight the pandemic.

“Please everyone do your part to stay safe and stay home. I hope we can all find ways — small and large — to give back to our neighbors, family, and those on the frontlines.”
