What can tech do to help healthcare workers monitor their patients with minimal interaction? They are disproportionately affected and can even become virus vectors for spread.

There's this for 3D printing protective visors: https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/ https://3dverkstan.se/protective-visor/ They print their own visors in Stockholm and distribute them to hospitals. They also act as a hub for amateurs that can help print, and companies with 3D printers with spare capacity, so that the hospitals have a single point of contact. I don't have any more details than what's said on the page.

- nradov 7y agoTechnology for remote monitoring of patient vital signs and medical device status is already widely deployed. Most wards in modern hospitals feed all that data to a central station so that a single nurse can monitor multiple patients simultaneously. However healthcare providers still have to directly touch patients several times per day for cleaning and treatment, especially in the ICU.
