Human Factors

The emergence and spread of infectious diseases, like COVID-19, are on the rise. Can you identify patterns between population density and COVID-19 cases and identify factors that could help predict hotspots of disease spread?

VFD

Summary

our solution is an easy to install self powered auto-sanitizing door handle that eliminate radically any virus with a laserVFD is a self sanitizing door handle using a laser that kills any virus present on the handleit is equip with multiple sensors that will prevent the laser to clean if someone is close to the door or is touching the handleit is powered with batteries that allows 6 months minimum of usageit does not require any maintenance and can be installed by anyone in a matter of minutes

How I Addressed This Challenge

Our solution VFD is a self sanitizing door handle using a laser that kills any virus present on the handle

Experts estimate that one of the main sources of indirect transmission of covid-19 is Door knobs & Handles. studies have demonstrated that 40-60% of space occupant can be contaminated in a day through high touch surfaces.

it is equip with multiple sensors that will prevent the laser to clean if someone is close to the door or is touching the handle

it is powered with batteries that allows 6 months minimum of usage

it does not require any maintenance and can be installed by anyone in a matter of minutes.


Our solution will slow down the spread of the virus by eliminating radically  any virus that is being transmitted through door handles


Our vision is to be at the forefront of the efforts to slow the spread of the Covid-19 virus by developing a safe and reliable self-sanitizing door knobs & handles solution and making it available as quickly as possible to the largest number of people that need it the most


VfD will help everyone that may be infected by a virus while  touching a door handle. It is billions of people


we are targeting our first priority markets segments are retirement homes, schools & universities, medical buildings, public buildings and hospitals in under-developed countries that do not the same cleaning protocols as developed countries


the second priority would be to get the world back in activity post lockdowns and support commercial buildings, transportation, housing and travel

How I Developed This Project

Experts estimate that one of the main sources of indirect transmission of covid-19 is Door knobs & Handles. studies have demonstrated that 40-60% of space occupant can be contaminated in a day through high touch surface

VFD is a self sanitizing door handle that can be installed in a matter of minutes by anyone, on any door, anywhere in the world with no maintenance for 6-9 months.

There are 13 billions door in the world and 26 billions door handles. if we deploy globally, we can reduce dramatically the spread of virus
