Solution Overview

Solution Name:

AIRDIS Personal Air Disinfector

One-line solution summary:

Our innovation is a personal air disinfection system. It disinfects air by passing it through strong UV light.

Pitch your solution.

The solution shall solve the problem of breathing in and breathing out the polluted air (with covid and other germs, bacterias and viruses) and thuse reduce the pandemics to expand.

The solution is a personal air disinfection system. It disinfects air by passing it through strong UV light. It also doesn’t require a mask to close the whole had or part of the body. It generates a flow of clean air around the nose and mouth of the user.

The solution should be scaled gobally to benefit all inhabitants. Mass production is a part of the cause for this innovation.

What specific problem are you solving?

Covid-19 is a global problem and our solution is meant to be a problem-solver for whole Earth. As you know covid-19 is taking lifes as we speak, and it is a global issue. Our solution is not only meant for solving the covid-19 problem, but all "breathing-related" diseases.

This clean air stream represents an invisible scarf that prevents potentially infected air to reach the mouth and nose of the user. It also catches exhaled air and it disinfects it before it releases it intothe environment. It kills the bacteria and viruses and consequently disinfects the air.The air disinfector will protect its user and people nearbyat the same time. It is reusable, enables long wear, and it is friendly to the environment. With our Personal Air Disinfection system there will be much less need for isolation.

What is your solution?

The proposed Personal Air Disinfector resolves the following problems:

1. The solution we suggest will disinfect the air that we exhale so that it will no longer contain the COVID-19. Besides, it's also going to disinfect the air we breathe in.

2.Unconscious spread of infection. Due to at least 48 hourly lag while the infected person is already contagious and before showing the first signs of the disease, the virus spreads unstoppably. Our air sterilizer will drastically reduce the possibility of transferring infection to other people.

3. Our solution is a practical device that is lightweight and does not close the head, allowing for long-time wear and despite it user can still have normal life and work.

4. Our solution allows one device to work throughout the day, and for several years, without producing any waste. The device cleans itself.

Personal Air Disinfectoris a specially designed device that generates a flow of clean air around the nose and mouth of the user. This clean air stream represents an invisible scarf that prevents potentially infected air to reach the mouth and nose of the user. It also catches exhaled air and it disinfects it before it releases it into the environment.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?

Potentially its every human that can wear our solution. Still, it can be used by educational workers worldwide, pupils and students, dentists, doctors and nurses in Hospitals, workers where close contact is necessary etc.

Explain how the problem, your solution, and your solution’s target population relate to the Challenge.

Personal Air Disinfector will protect users and people around. It will be reusable, friendly to the environment and it will enable people to continue performing daily tasks and work, despite the viruses. During a severe pandemic, all sectors of the economy—agriculture, manufacturing, services—face disruption, potentially leading to shortages, rapid price increases for staple goods, and economic stresses for households, private firms, and governments. The solution will disable virus's ability to quickly spread through air. That will reduce virus ability to spread. There will be no need for strong isolation and therefore no negative impact on the economy and social spheres
