| 35 | Project Title : Development of Motorized Roboticmedical Assistant for Nursing, Sanitization, and House-keeping in Isolation Wards
Expected Outcome : To develop a motorized robotic vehicle fitted with robotic arm, for performing multiple tasks in the healthcare set-up dedicated for the patients suffering from highly communicable diseases such as COVID19. The proposed multipurpose robotic assistant can perform various tasks such as collection of pathological samples, acquiring physiological parameters such as temperature, delivery of food/ medicine in the isolation ward, sanitization of the isolation wards and approaching areas. Expected Timeline : Remarks : The system comprises a robotic arm mounted on a motorized vehicle. Such an autonomous robot may assist in nursing, delivery of food/ medicine or any other item in the isolation wards. The autonomous robot can host a thermal imaging camera to acquire and record the temperature of the admitted patients or the new patient suspected of the CARONA like infections. Further, when a person is identified corona positive, there is a need of nursing staff who can attend the patient. The autonomous robot can assist into this. The motorized robot can be programmed and remotely controlled to deliver medicine, food or any other item to the patients staying in isolation wards. The proposed robotic assistant integrated with suitable audio-visual module, can facilitate medical staff in carrying out tele-round of the isolation wards in place of physical round. This again reduces the risk of corona infection to medical personnel significantly. Such a system is supposed to serve a great assistance to medical staff who are providing treatment to corona patients and thus, enabling them to extend their capability to treat relatively larger number of patients. The proposed motorized robotic platform fitted with the robotic arm, can be customized and scaled –up for performing many other tasks which require greater complexity and higher degree of freedom. One of the very critical future extension would be automated collection of pathological samples and the proper packaging of the collected sample, without any human intervention. Further, the same autonomous robot may be reconfigured for variety of application areas that promote contactless interaction to prevent the spreading of corona virus like diseases.

| 36 | Project Title : Social Distancing Monitoring and Warning System
Expected Outcome : System that monitors the public gathering and alerts & reminds the people and authorities whenever social distancing is violated. Expected Timeline : Remarks : The system uses a camera (preferably high resolution) to view gathering at a public place. The system continuously records the video and sends it to central server through the data network. Simultaneously, the system also analyze the people density in a given sample area. For example, if the sample space spans to area of 100 m2 (actual area depends on the camera and its angular movements) then only 10 people may be allowed in this area (i.e. 10 m2 area per person which may serve as threshold value, actual threshold may vary). The moment 11th person enters into this sample area (area per person < 10 m2) i.e. threshold is violated; a public warning through attached loudspeaker or siren may issued. This may serve as reminder to people to maintain social distancing. Further, based on the previous data and present scenario the system may also analyze that how much the present social distancing violation is likely to grow. This may be used to issue alerts to the authorities that in the sample area social distancing violation may become severe. Furthermore, the video of sample area stored at central server may be processed to identify habitual offenders of social distancing norms. Moreover, certain AI algorithms may also be applied to the processed video that would identify the people who are intentionally spitting/ infecting the public places. The identified people may be verified through “Aadhar” data base for further actions. Salient Features & Deliverables: • Monitors the public gathering in real time. • Analyzing the people density in the given area in real time. • Automated warning if social distancing is violated. • Automated alerts to authorities when threshold is breeched. • Use of congestion prevention and congestion avoidance type of algorithms to predict the possibility of public gathering. • Feeding the live video to central server for online monitoring by authorities. • Storing high quality video on central server for further processing to identify habitual offenders. • Identification of people trying to spread the disease either intentionally or due to depression.

| 38 | Project Title : "PeopleTracker" app to trace the close contacts of individuals who may be in the asymptomatic stage.
Expected Outcome : a) An app to identify fellow persons who came in close contact with the individual in the past fourteen days b) A CRUD based database to store the contact details Expected Timeline : 1.5 months Remarks : The Government of India is putting untiring efforts to contain the spread of Corona virus in the community. One of the major challenge is to identify the persons who came in contact with the COVID-19 patients. Currently, the investigation agencies are manually interrogating the patients. In addition to this, the Government of India has launched the Arogya Setu app which keeps a track of the COVID patients and informs if a person comes in close contact with the patient. However, since the incubation period of the virus is long, it could be possible that a person in asymptomatic stage has unknowingly infected many before it could be diagnosed. In the present scenario, everybody is in possession of a handheld smart phone device with minimum facilities such as Bluetooth, Internet connection, NFC facility etc. We intend to develop a PeopleTracker app which would identify all the fellow persons who came in contact in the last fourteen days. There are two major challenges in the development of the application. The first challenge is installation of the developed app in all the smartphones. This can be done by ensuring that every time a user access the Internet, this app would automatically get switched on. The Bluetooth technology will detect all the Android devices in its range and store the mobile number of respective devices in its local database. Periodically, the data would be transferred to a secure server. This data would be stored in the cloud for a period of fourteen days, after which it would automatically get deleted. The second challenge is privacy of the data. The data would be stored on the local Android device in encrypted form. Consequently, it would be sent over to the server over a secure channel. This data would be used only in case a new patient arrives. Moreover, this data would remain confidential and be used for the duration of pandemic by government authorities only.

| 39 | Project Title : Modified N95 Masks and Anti-Viral and Anti microbial gloves
Expected Outcome : N95 Masks- The proposed mask will be the first of its kind which shall have additional filters and fabric layers with better-sterilized air inhalation. The mask shall be designed in such a way that it shall be more compatible with persons suffering from COPD and for a long time wearing. Anti-Viral and Anti-microbial gloves- These single used coated gloves can provide an additional means of defense against the horizontal transmission of common hospital pathogens and play a vital role in controlling COVID 19. In addition, the coatings may also be used for other PPE. Expected Timeline : 4 to 6 months Remarks : (a) N95 Mask: Medical N95 masks are a specialized respirators mask that consists of multiple layers of fabrics. These mask filter out 95% of particles whose size are above 0.3 microns. In the market, these N95 masks are available in different shapes. The proposed mask will be the first of its kind which shall have additional filters and fabric layers with better-sterilized air inhalation. It is expected to play a crucial role in COVID 19 management. The mask shall be designed in such a way that it shall be more compatible with persons suffering from COPD and for a long time wearing. (b) Antiviral and antimicrobial gloves: In healthcare associated infections, the spreading of organisms by the means of gloves is recognized as one of the key vectors for pathogenesis. In the healthcare sector gloves are commonly used to prevent the health care workers from coming in direct contact with the pathogenic organisms. But in recent times it was found that these personal protection gloves are becoming a common source of spreading the pathogenic organisms from one location to another. To overcome this problem a combination of mixtures will be coated on the exterior surface of the nitrile gloves. The mixture has antimicrobial, antiviral activity. This coating can serve as the preventive measure in controlling the transmission of COVID 19. The coated gloves will be able to fully eradicate pathogenic bacterial and viral strains. The integrity and finishing of the gloves will not be adversely affected by the coating. These single used coated gloves can provide an additional means of defense against the horizontal transmission of common hospital pathogens and play a vital role in controlling COVID 19. In addition, the coatings may also be used for other PPE. URL : Additional Info PI Details : Dr Vishnu Agarwal Associate Professor Department of Biotechnology.

| 42 | Project Title : Innovative retrofitting of existing hand-washing systems to facilitate hands-free operability using locally available material
Expected Outcome : Tap and liquid handwash dispensers that can be operated by the forearm (portion of the arm between wrist and elbow), or the elbow itself, thereby eliminating the need to touch by hand. The solution proposed can be implemented without necessitating any change in existing installations, and with the use of scrap material commonly available. Expected Timeline : Two weeks from commencement Remarks : Problem Statement: In the present fight against virus-caused infections, frequent hand washing has been accepted scientifically as one of the prime ways in which to avoid contamination. However, most of the existing hand-washing equipment installed in public spaces uses regular tap-head tops, which need to be touched by hand to open and shut. After opening the tap, the user may sanitize his hands with utmost care. However, for shutting off the water supply, he is required to touch the tap head top again, causing possibility of re-contamination. Challenge: to convert existing systems to handsfree systems in an efficient manner, using locally available material, in the absence of access to hardware shops amidst lockdown. Solution offered: tap and liquid handwash dispensers that can be operated by the forearm (portion of the arm between wrist and elbow), or the elbow itself, thereby eliminating the need to touch by hand. The solution proposed can be implemented without necessitating any change in existing installations, and with the use of scrap material commonly available.

| 43 | Project Title : ViroShield: Very low cost, disposable face shield
Expected Outcome : To make a low cost, disposable face shield which is suitable to health care workers in ICU as well as diagnostic set up. Besides, it can also be used by police and sanitary workers particularly in areas designated as hotspots and/or red zones. Expected Timeline : Remarks : The ViroShield is a one size fits all sort of, made up of transparency sheet, EPE foam sheet with a total cost of 7 rupees per piece. This is optimally designed for any faces with or without spectacles. More importantly, in a low threat zone, it can be reused. However, in a high threat zone such as hotspots or ICU, they should be used once. The very low cost of ViroShield favors its one time use in our limited resources. It is different from other available/ recently developed face shield, as they are relatively costlier. Moreover, their parts are being re-used which is certainly not advisable in an infection like SARS Cov-2.

| 44 | Project Title : VIRALYSER 1.0: A Portable Box to Sanitize Inanimate Items
Expected Outcome : To design a portable box with ability to sanitize items received at our doorsteps. In addition, the same can also be applied to various other inanimate items viz., files, papers, currency etc. Expected Timeline : Remarks : In wake of COVID-19 outbreak, it has become mandatory to stay home and be safe. With social distancing and self-isolation increasingly becoming the norm (Government mandate) during coronavirus pandemic, people have grown increasingly wary about shopping in crowded malls or grocery stores and nervous about confronting empty shelves amid the coronavirus pandemic. This has led to increased delivery of items to our door steps. COVID-19 is a respiratory virus and is transmitted person-to-person through respiratory droplets. Delivered items including, groceries, online shopping pose a great threat to contract COVID-19. A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that the virus was detectable on plastic and stainless steel for up to 72 hours, and on cardboard for up to 24 hours. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USA, also suggested that novel coronavirus may remain viable for hours to days on variety of surfaces. It was demonstrated that in a small scale study, it could survive upto 24 hrs on cardboard. Newyork times also reported that two dozens postal workers have contracted COVID-19 as of March 23rd, 2020. There is growing evidence that COVID-19 could be transmitted to humans who are staying at home due to PAN India lockdown and are receiving vegetables, Fruits, groceries etc delivered at their doorsteps. This prompted Department of Biotechnology, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad to design a portable box with ability to sanitize items received at our doorsteps. In addition, the same can also be applied to various other inanimate items viz., files, papers, currency etc. URL : Additional Info PI Details : Prof. Shivesh Sharma, Dr. Nand Kumar Singh, Dr. Ashutosh Mani, Dr. Sameer Srivastava and Dr. Ambak Kumar Rai [Department of Biotechnology].

Expected Outcome : It is a UV based portable surface disinfectant, a low-intensity UV lamp will be placed at the focal point of a parabolic mirror which would result in a parallel beam of UV light. In order to be portable, the device will be battery powered and by virtue of the simplicity of design, it will be affordable, cheap, easily manufacture and economically feasible to be used widely in the country. Expected Timeline : Remarks : The outbreak of a global pandemic, COVID-19 has forced many challenges to mankind. Various measures have been taken to stop its spread. Social distancing, regular hand washing, etc have been advised to prevent its transmission. Countrywide lockdown is one of the major steps taken by the government of India to fight back COVID-19. Essential services like groceries, medicines, etc are necessary for sustenance. If a person is found to be affected with COVID-19, they have to be carefully treated and kept in isolation so that the health workers treating the person may not get affected. One of the root causes of the rapid spread of Corona virus has been due to transmission by surface. Countries like Italy and Spain has suffered a huge outbreak due to transmission through surfaces among other mediums of transmission. In the case of India, this outbreak can be devastatingly huge if not brought under control within this small timeframe. To counter this problem, i.e. contraction through surface transmission, a UV based portable surface disinfectant is hereby proposed.

| 64 | Project Title : Fabrication of biodegradable material for personal protective care equipment's.
Expected Outcome : Personal protective care equipment's (PPCEs) plays a vital role in preventing transmission of viruses during epidemics. These protective equipment’s consists of garments such as gloves, mask, gown or coverall which are used to protect the health care workers. Apart from the treatment centers, they are also used by persons related to activities like waste management, cleaning and community care works related during the outbreak. The expected outcome from the present investigation is the fabrication of biodegradable material for personal protective care equipment’s having antibacterial and fluid-resistant properties. The methodology to be followed for the fabrication of the biodegradable material for PPCEs is shown in Figure 1. It consists of converting the extracted bamboo fibre into bamboo charcoal embedded bamboo fibre yarn for fabricating the biodegradable material for PPCEs treated with antibacterial and fluid-resistant agents. Expected Timeline : Six months Remarks : The existing materials used for the personal protective equipment (PPE) account for up to 20% of solid waste. Also, the majority of this waste is not biodegradable. Moreover, down-cycling, upcycling or recycling of the cleanroom garments and gloves are not recommended because of the adverse effects associated with it. It is extremely important for fabricating ecofriendly and sustainable material for PPCE’s. Bamboo being one of the easily available and economical natural fibre available in the state of Arunachal Pradesh can go a long way for producing biodegradable materials for various PPCE’s. These materials can be used for producing various PPCE’s which can be used by the frontline workers during any epidemic situation and can be easily disposed off, thus minimizing waste and without affecting the environment.

| 84 | Project Title : Toward Securing-Tracing apps related to Covid-19
Expected Outcome : To develop a Lightweight cryptographic algorithm to secure location data which can preferably work with ‘Arogya Setu App’ Expected Timeline : 6-8 weeks Remarks : From the emergence of Covid-19, the primary focus of governments across the world is contact tracing of the effected person. To achieve this, most of the governments use smartphone data to track where people go and with whom they interact. In this regard, Government of India is also using ‘Arogya Setu App’ successfully. These so-called contact-tracing apps help public health officials get ahead of the spread of Covid-19. However, the downside is the inherent loss of privacy. If abused, raw location data of a person could reveal sensitive information related to that person using the app. Therefore, this work proposes to develop a lightweight cryptographic algorithm such that sensitive location data can be securely transferred to the destination without being compromised.

| 119 | Project Title : Disinfection of inanimate objects from Covid-19 contagion by irradiating with UV light
Expected Outcome : Design and development of movable Covid-19 disinfection chamber based on UV irradiation Expected Timeline : The desired disinfecting chamber can be produced within two weeks upon arrival of the raw materials/components Remarks : At the current trying time, the COVID-19 pandemic is the global threat which transcends territorial, political, religious, cultural, and definitely academic boundaries. Healthcare workers and biologists are at the frontline, working for mitigating the outbreak of the disease. Although the current challenge apparently seems far from the physical scientists and engineers who generally deal with inanimate objects, there is a scope for them to contribute to this global crisis. To address this challenge, herein, we plan to set up a movable Covid-19 disinfection chamber operated by UV-C light (wavelength of 200-280 nm in the electromagnetic spectrum) that has been known for long to disinfect a variety of substances including food and water. It works by its germicidal effects, destroying microorganisms such as virus, bacteria by cleaving their DNA structures upon absorption of UV. The intensity of UV-C light and exposure time will be adjusted depending on the dimension of the chamber and the amount of substances to be cleaned. The designed chamber is made of plywood and comprising of wheels that make the system movable and the dimension of the chamber is restricted to 6??6??8?. The current approach is powerful and more convenient in terms of its low cost and non-invasive nature, in comparison to existing wet-chemical methods. This chamber can be used to disinfect a variety of daily used items including groceries, vegetables, wallet, currency, spectacles, luggage, books, pen, mobile phones, wristwatches, leather shoes, specifically the items which are susceptible to be damaged by detergent washing or other wet chemical methods. However, the present approach can only be applicable to disinfect the non-living objects. URL : http://www.nits.ac.in/departments/chem/chem.php Additional Info PI Details : Dr. S. S. Dhar, Dr. M. A.

| 120 | Project Title : Development of a Quarantined Patient Health and Location Tracking System with GUI support and breach alert system
Expected Outcome : Due to the pandemic like COVID-19 it is necessary to isolate and quarantine the patients to inhibit the spread of the pandemic. Our objective is the development of a system which we can effectively monitor the patient health data, access the data remotely using a GUI based web application and real-time tracking of patient’s location and raise a breach alert when the patient wanders out of the specified unrestricted area. The system includes a device which is strapped on the patient so the entire solution is non-invasive. The device includes a GPS module for triangulating the location of the patient, Temperature and ECG Sensors for collecting health data and a microcontroller for processing and transmitting the data wirelessly to the server. The server hosts a Web-app which enables the users to visualize the data through its GUI enriched interface. The system also facilitates the real-time tracking of the patient’s location and updates it on the server. If the quarantined patient steps out of the designated area space, an SOS signal is immediately sent to the server and all the responsible authorities are notified pf the breach. Through this system, we aim at containing the patients to a safe-space while keeping track of the health and thus preventing the further spread of the pandemic due to the affected individuals. Expected Timeline : 30 days or less Remarks : For development of the prototype the device and the GUI based web-app, successful testing and recording of the test data-sets from the patients to set up the database and deploying the server and it’s testing.

| 121 | Project Title : Development of a progressive web application for intelligent cost optimization using IOT in hotels, post COVID-19 pandemic
Expected Outcome : A progressive web application (PWA) aimed at consumers and hotel owners to optimize the costs pertaining in the operations, post COVID-19 pandemic situation. Due to the imposed 40 day lockdown for the public safety, various industries are currently in loss and would be finding an optimal solution to this problem. We, in this project, will design a novel technique to monitor the variable costs viz. Electricity consumption, Water consumption, etc. and give an optimization solution for a viable operation in a hotel. The technique will be mapped through a PWA with the enterprise owner and the consumer as well, to monitor the consumption details in real time through IOT sensors. The novelty of the idea lies in the automatic transition of manual optimization to automatic using Deep Neural Networks to enhance the performance, once we have obtained a minimum amount of data. The PWA, unlike usual applications, requires a lot less resources to function. Expected Timeline : 60 days or less Remarks : A prototype of the PWA and related IOT hardware can be ready for the trial implementation and data acquiring within the designated timeline URL : http://www.nits.ac.in/departments/ece/ece.php Additional Info PI Details : Dr Koushik Guha, Assistant Professor (Grade I), Electronics and Communication Engineering Department, National Institute of Technology Silchar Email: koushikguha2009@gmail.com Mob: 9435072274 PI Email id : koushikguha2009@gmail.com |

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. URL : PI Details : PI Email id : gowher59@gmail.com |

| 174 | Project Title : Development and fabrication of low-cost sterilizer box using UV-Hot Air combination (yoUVen)
Expected Outcome : A prototype low-cost equipment for sterilization of electronic gadgets, vegetables, fruits, stationaries etc. for domestic use with rapid up-scaling feasibility Expected Timeline : One month Remarks : Although several new designs of sterilizer box have been emerging recently for decontamination of these surfaces in view of current outbreak of COVID - 19, most of them rely on irradiation of UV-C on the surfaces to deactivate virus. However, the complete sterilization of entire surface may not be guaranteed by mere UV irradiance, particularly due to shadowing in case of objects with irregular shape or when the objects are in bunch, such as currency notes. We, at Optoelectronic Materials and Devices lab at Department of Applied Physics, SVNIT, Surat, have developed and fabricated a novel sterilizer box to overcome this problem. The design involves optimized combination of UV-C radiation along with hot-air to ensure thorough sterilization of various objects, even when the surface is irregular in shape. The sterilizer box allows the user to select between only UV-C irradiation or the combination of it with hot-air for a desired amount of time and the user can also chose the temperature of the air, which is kept constant for the entire cycle. The equipment is low-cost and can serve the purpose of sterilization of various items used for domestic purpose in day-to-day life during the Corona outbreak and beyond that.
