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!
I'm not sure how active this forum is, but here goes:
Professor Nachi Chockalingam, a fellow Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Engineers and Professor of Clinical Biomechanics at Staff Uni, is seeking help to find solutions to a problem that we all face: Automating Handwashing Systems that ensure thorough washing whilst reducing waste of running water.
Yes, there are some part-solutions out there, but none is an end-to-end solution in terms of effectiveness and economy of use. See attached paper and, if you can help, or know someone who can, please contact Professor Nachi (details in the paper), or me. 20201024 IET Call for solutions to Hand washing automation proposal.pdf
