Solution Name:

Hybrid Camera

One-line solution summary:

Remote screening of multiple vital signs using a hybrid camera

Pitch your solution.

Problem: Spreading the infectious diseases in the crowded places.

Solution: Remote screening of multiple vital signs (Body temperature, Heart rate, and Respiratory rate) using a hybrid camera.

This solution will help in reducing the spreading of infectious diseases and epidemics by screening multiple persons at the entrance of the crowded places without queue also, it will help in providing real-time data about the infectious diseases and epidemics.

Film your elevator pitch.

What specific problem are you solving?

the problem: Spreading the infectious diseases in the crowded places.

Everyone Pass in crowded places is affected by this issue.

The intuition that population density increases the propensity of an epidemic to spread in cities is correct in the sense that increased density, likely leads to an increase in the contact rate of an individual, which makes the reproduction number larger and leads to larger infectious disease outbreaks in dense areas.

What is your solution?

Remote screening of three vital signs using a hybrid camera:

Body temperature BT

The mechanism of fever appears to be a defensive reaction by the body against infectious diseases. When bacteria or virus invade the body, it causes tissue injury and one of the immune responses is to produce pyrogens that disrupt the function of the hypothalamus, part of the brain that is responsible for temperature regulation, causing an increase in body temperature which might help to kill certain pathogens that have a narrow temperature range.

Heart rate HR

Heartbeat is measured with an RGB camera by substituting ambient light for the dedicated light source and an RGB camera for the photodiodes and then measuring the form of the volume pulse wave. Because of the degree of skin exposure and ease of detection, the heartbeat waveform was measured from the face.

Respiratory rate RR

Respiration is measured by using thermography to detect nasal-region temperature changes associated with respiration. During exhalation, warm air from inside the lungs is released and it increases the temperature in the nasal region, whereas during inhalation, cool air from the external environment is breathed in and it lowers the temperature in the nasal region.

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

Public entities like (Airports, Train and Metro Stations, Museums, Ministries, Governmental institutions, Hospitals and more...)
Private entities (Companies & Factories, Hotels, Banks, Clubs, Malls, Hypermarkets, food courts, Clinics, And more……)

We have done a small market research and asking them Can they replace their security camera with our system? And they welcome and support our idea much.

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

We will help in preventing the spread of the infectious diseases and provide real-time data analysis about the infectious diseases & the epidemic in the crowded place which will help communities around the world prepare for, detect, and respond to emerging pandemics and health security threats.
