I was president of the IET for 2016-17, and have been asked by government to gather practical and innovative ideas from our Engineering communities. So, please enter any ideas you might have in this thread that might help address and mitigate the Covid-19 crisis. Ideas might include digital tracking / monitoring through therapy equipment and beyond. Even ideas outside your usual expertise domain will be welcome. Now’s the time for Engineering to show we can change the world!
This post relates to the autumn rather than right now. IET's Healthcare Technologies Community has been planning a International Conference in Sept 2020 on "Appropriate Healthcare Technologies for Low Resource Settings".AHT2020. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic we have changed from holding a physical event to a digital/on-line event or series of events. As one of the themes we are considering focusing on how low-cost appropriate healthcare technologies can help in managing and mitigating outbreaks of infectious diseases, particularly in low resources settings where they may have limited healthcare infrastructure. If you are interested in this you can contact Gemma Hadley, Healthcare Technologies Community Manager or me, Len Cornish, at LenCornish@aol.com. Co-Chair AHT2020. Take care and keep safe.
