In current circumstances, a solution must

COVID-19 is a major global public health challenge and difficult to control in a short time completely. To prevent the COVID-19 epidemic from continuing to worsen, global scientific research institutions have actively carried out studies on COVID-19, thereby effectively improving the prevention, monitoring, tracking, control, and treatment of the epidemic. However, the COVID-19 electronic medical records

With the advent of the recent coronavirus pandemic, it has become crucial to maintain social distancing within public spaces. To achieve this, it is important to keep a count of the number of people entering the premises and maintain low occupancy within it. This article presents a very large area pressure sensor based on nickel sulfide deposited on a paper using facile hydrothermal, and sheet to sheet

Face masks provide effective, easy-to-use, and low-cost protection against airborne pathogens or infectious agents, including SARS-CoV-2. Existing masks are all passive in nature, i.e., simply act as air filters for the nasal passage and/or mouth. This article presents a new “active mask” paradigm, in which the wearable device is equipped with smart sensors and actuators to both detect the presence

Video games were originally distributed through fixed-function appliances or gaming consoles. As technology improved, various forms of physical media were used to distribute games, such as cartridges and discs. While this provided versatility, it also carried physical design considerations and complexities surrounding backward-compatibility. Today, digital distribution is growing rapidly and beginning

The period after the COVID-19 wave is called the Echo-period. Estimation of crowd size in an outdoor environment is essential in the Echo-period. Making a simple and flexible working system for the same is the need of the hour. This article proposes and evaluates a nonintrusive, passive, and cost-effective solution for crowd size estimation in an outdoor environment. We call the proposed system as

COVID-19 or coronavirus has thrilled the entire world population with uncertainty over their survival and well-being.
