PPE to be used while transporting the patient with infectious disease in ambulance or within hospital. The plastic cover can be made with transparent TPU or 16 gauge clear vinyl material and the rods from 1/2 inch ABS pipes. The overall dimensions are kept as 2mx0.6mx0.6m. Plastic zippers to be attached on the sides of the fattened plastic. 8 4" wide glove ports are provided for attaching nitrile gloves on the sides.
For air circulation - At the inlet, use 2 HEPA filters 0.3micrometer, 99.99% or more. At the outlet, use HEPA filter along with filters for biological substances. In the Exhaust box, use one way valve and exhaust fan. Usually a 5CFM exhaust fan will provide a ventialtion of 12 times per hour for this volume of containment. A 12 Volt battery is used to power the exhaust unit. A pouch can be attached to the canopy, for holding the battery

HealthyPi

  The HealthyPi was designed with not just one application in mind, but a variety of them. While it does function as a vital sign monitor for traditional patient monitoring applications, it can also be used for several other applications. You can use it with a Raspberry Pi using a display; use it with a Raspberry Pi with the official touchscreen using our “Complete Kit,” or you can use it standalone by connecting it to any computer’s USB port. The software is compatible across all platforms.                                                                         Resources: https://github.com/Protocentral/protocentral-healthypi-v3 http://healthypi.protocentral.com

Sterilising Lamp by Frank Chou

Frank Chou's Sterilising Lamp combines an ultraviolet (UV) light with a tray, and would ideally be kept by the entrance to the user's home for them to put items in such as their mobile phone, keys or wallet as they enter the room. The user would press the cover body to activate the internal UV light source, the body then lowers to cover the items in the tray with the UV light. After 60 seconds the cover automatically rises to reveal the now-sterilised items again. Frank Chou aimed to create an "unconscious design" when creating the lamp, which he hopes can blend into the home and become part of people's daily routine, as opposed to a disinfection method that they consciously have to think about doing.

Arm Door Opener for COVID-19 by CIM UPC

Based on the original design by Materialise, this opener, 3D-designed at CIM UPC, can be manufactured with any desktop 3D printer and simply assembled with 3 cable ties. With this opener, all shared door handles can be opened without using your hands. The engineers at CIM UPC began to analyse the different alternatives available on the market to open the doors without using the hands and realized that none were easy enough to assemble, nor did they adapt to the different types of handles and that, in general, they required special elements being difficult to procure. So they got down to work. The final outcome, after a hard week working with different designs and prototypes, is the Arm Door Opener. It consists of a single piece that can be manufactured in less than 4 hours with any desktop 3D printer and can easily be assembled with only 3 cable ties. This design has been made in two versions for doors that open to the left and to the right and the assembly is carrie...
