9 Project Title : Pandemic Drone
Expected Outcome : 1.UseDrones(enabled with a high-resolution camera and thermal sensor)to measure the body temperature of an individual from a distance. 2. Use Drones to capture the images of individuals and process in real-time images and see if some individual is suffering from COVID-19 symptoms (like coughing, sneezing, etc) using image processing and machine learning techniques. 2. Use Drones to sanitize specific places. 3. Collect the data and use the same for detecting the social contacts of a COVID -19 patient.
Expected Timeline : 6 months - 1 year
Remarks : Need of the hour is to trace the social contacts of the COVID-19 infected person and to test the individuals without contacting the individual from a distance. This proposal aims to achieve these objectives with the help of a Drona.

10 Project Title : Detection of COVID-19 virus from the Ph of blood
Expected Outcome :
Expected Timeline :
Remarks : Detection of the COVID-19 virus by knowing the PH of blood. In a normal human, the blood is alkaline in nature i.e PH is greater than 7(7.35-7.4). The Covid-19 virus gets attached to the host ACE2 at PH nearly 5.4 . Thus, when PH of the blood in humans is changed from 7.4 to 5.4 we can easily say that a person is suffering from covid -19 VIRUS. Moreover PH of the blood changes due to shortness of breath, which is a common symptom of COVID-19 virus. Treatment: AMMONIUM CHLORIDE can be given to Covid-19 patients effective compared with hydroquinone and chloroquine.
