Adaptations During COVID-19 and Smart Disease Detection Through ‘Germica’

Rajasekaran, R.; Masih, J.; Kaur, D.

COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the world and has taught a lesson to maintain personal cleanliness and hygiene. In these tough times, only people with higher degree of cleanliness and hygiene could beat this deadly virus and survive the pandemic. Everyday millions of people are losing their lives due to COVID-19, which is majorly spreading due to lack of sanitization and unhygienic surroundings. Simple remedies to fight corona virus including washing hands with soaps, regular use of hand and air sanitizers, use of face mask etc. In public places such as railway stations, airports, restaurants, hospitals, cafes, shopping malls etc., the maintenance and monitoring of hygiene conditions of visiting people conditions becomes a big challenge. To help the government authorities and local administration in better surveillance and monitoring of Corona positive cases, or people contaminated with any other kind of germs and bacteria, we came up with the prototype design of ‘Germica-A germ detection machine’. It is savvy medical and clinic framework, which has multiple germ detection features installed like UV lights to detect the germ intensity on hands or any other targeted body parts. Another feature of ‘Germica’ is germ detection cameras;which can take the image of different body parts, example nails and based to its colour, it can tell if a person is sick or healthy. In preparing the prototype of ‘Germica’, scientist have vigorously tested and trained the medical data to see its actual application and degree of accuracy. Small portable device like ‘Germica’ can help in maintaining hygiene conditions in hospitals, clinics and other places. ‘Germica’ in long run can help to combat with COVID-19 pandemic and other disease that spread through human carrier. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
