TECHNOLOGY AGANIST CORONA VIRUS

 

Covid-19 and Technology:

In recent days we have seen that the number of patients suffering from covid 19 are increasing day by day. Where the doctors, police and sanitary staff are not getting any rest. We all know that the doctors are helping us to fight covid but what we don’t know is that technology is also helping us to fight back. In this blog I am going to tell how technology is helping us to fight back.

Here doctors are also using pep kits, ventilators ,monitors, ultrasound machines, etc are used by health care services in daily use where they have to cooperate with machines as there is so many advancements in medical field like there are some of the machines which can operate a surgery.

List of the technology:-

1. Making digital payments
2. Drones
3. Tele-health
4. CCTV
5. Remote controlled trolley
6. Ultravoilet c light based sanitisation box
7. Contactless sanitisers
8. 3D-Printers

1.Making digital:

Before covid the online payments are not that much favourable in India. Because some of the big shops or businesspersons have used it. But the scenario has changed after covid,   there are small vendors who are now using online payment’s now a days. Because these  days people are worried about direct exchange of money. Due to this , many platforms like goggle-pay, phone-pay, BHIM or UPI ,net banking are now creating space .

 

2.Drones:

In some of  the countries people us drones  to distribute food and medical supply .There is an app that is used to do this .If we select and complete our booking our order will be delivered with an sanitised drone and they will land in the backyard or near the road u will get notified before it lands there you can go and collect your supplies like medicine ,food, supplements. In India police staff are using drones to get an overall view of the city, to see that lockdown is maintained properly. Which is another help of technology in fighting the covid 19.

 3.Tele-health:

Due to covid the people are scared to visit  hospitals so there came many apps like mydoc, etc to help people from their problem’s and gone to virtual treatment for small problems. see how the technology is helping in this way.

 

4.CCTV:

When a family of three in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district tested positive for Covid-19 after returning from Italy, local authorities realised the family had visited several places and met many people for a week before they were quarantined. Reviewing CCTV footage from the areas they had been to be was one of the methods the local administration used to track down 900 people the family could have potentially infected. South Korea and Singapore, too, have used CCTVs extensively in contact-tracing.

5.Remote Controlled Trolleys:

Indian Army’s Corps of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME) have created a remote-controlled trolley. This is being used by healthcare workers to deliver essential items to healthcare staff. In order to make it more helpful, the trolley comes equipped with a washbasin and dustbin. 

6.Ultraviolet C Light-based sanitisation box:

The most important thing to do during the ongoing pandemic is to sanitise our hands. But what is the point when our belongings like mobile phone, wallet and keys are infected? Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Sciences (DIPAS), Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences (INMAS) and DRDO laboratories in Delhi have developed an Ultraviolet C Light-based sanitisation box. This can be used to sanitise a lot of things including wallets and keys. The organizations have also developed a handheld UV-C device with a wavelength of 254 nanometres.

7.Contactless Sanitisers:

There are many small people who are not that much educated , who are becoming engineering’s by inventing contactless sanitisers by Indians .Which means taking some of the items which are not useful and making them into a useful one.The companies are also coming with these ideas to help the societies.

8.3D-Printers:

Now a day’s 3D-printers are very handful to produce complex shapes. In India there is a demand for ventilators. With the global demand for ventilators skyrocketing, Avgas Healthcare, an innovative Indian startup building cost-effective portable ventilators, is working to manufacture 20,000 ventilators.

Isinnova, an Italian based startup, designed a 3D-printed valve that turns snorkeling masks into ventilators and shared their 3D-printing designs online for free.

Companies ethical practises:

India’s top Venture Capitalists, which include Sequoia Capital, Accel, Matrix Partners, Kalaari Capital and others, along with prominent angel investors are setting up an INR 100 cr fund to support start-ups developing products and services aimed at helping contain the virus. This is a welcoming sign for the start-up community.

See these are some of  the technologies which are helping us to fight against covid-19.Some companies are coming a head with new innovative ideas to help us to fight against covid 19, which is indirectly helping them to increase their stake and stock holders with a good number of consumers. Which comes into their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibilities) practice means helping the people and the government .In future they can have a good support from the government  for their ethical considerations and helping the government along with their employees and customers.

The organises are showing their social , occupational ,organizational ethics .They are taking decisions related to the situation and fulfilling the people deeds .These are some ethical duties that a the companies are doing and it is their duty because social goals are prior in the list .The companies or organisations  are indirectly promoting their companies and increasing their reputations in the society.
