COVID DEVICE AND HUMIDIFIER
The most important safety
Our PROJECT
Covid-19 transmission increases in places with low humidity
A study during the first stage of the Covid-19 pandemic has found an association between lower humidity and increased transmission in the community. The study estimated that for a 1% decrease in relative humidity, Covid-19 cases could increase by 7% to 8%. When the humidity is lower, the air is drier and makes the aerosols smaller. When you sneeze and cough, those tiny infectious aerosols can stay suspended in the air for longer. That increases the exposure of other people. When the air is humid and the aerosols are larger and heavier, they fall and hit surfaces more quickly.
"Dry air seems to favor the spread of Covid-19", which means that time and place become important.
The idea of our project is to increase the security of the transmission of the Covid-19 in an establishment. We will accomplish this goal by making two devices.
The goals that the devices must perform are:
-
System capable of detecting an optimum control of temperature of the customers & implement an automatic hydro-alcoholic gel dispenser.
-
Develop a prototype that will detect the humidity of the place & dispense humidity automatically.
-
Capacity control of the establishment.
