The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati has come up with an innovation that can give community solution for fighting against coronavirus. With both surveillance and disinfection, the new system can help in preventing the further spread of the virus.
IIT Guwahati in collaboration with Workspace Metal Solutions has developed a system, a self-check kiosk that can detect if an individual has a high temperature or low blood oxygen levels – some of the symptoms of coronavirus and other viral and bacterial infections.
Other than giving instant health updates, it also provides 360-degree disinfection of the belongings of the person through its UV-C chamber. The fully automated touchless kiosk has been designed as per the WHO guidelines and if the parameters of the person are beyond the normal limits, it raises an alarm.
Senthilmurugan Subbiah, Associate Professor, Chemical Engineering Department, IIT Guwahati, Puneet Talesara, Founder, Workspace Group and the alumnus of IIT Guwahati have come up with this need-of-the hour innovation when COVID-19 cases are rising every day. The kiosks will cost between Rs 3.5 lakh to Rs 7.5 lakh based on the specifications and features.
Among the features of the kiosk is a UV-C disinfectant box capable of killing viruses and bacteria present on the surfaces of bags, keys, mobiles and wallets, thereby reducing the risk of virus spread.
Once the temperature is measured, the person will have to wave his hand over the sensor of the UV-C chamber to open its door for disinfecting his belongings.
