Up to now notes often written with pen and paper, or simply from great distances yelled to an assistant to reduce the risk of infection. However, miscommunication can be dangerous. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) therefore came up with the idea to develop an “Ebola-proof” tablet.
Google tablet features a casing that can withstand immersion in a chlorine solution. The tablet also has no sharp edges so that the protective clothing of the aid workers remains intact and the tablet can be operated with gloves. The tablet also operates at high humidity.
The tablets are connected to a server that controls all communication and which the data can be stored. The server runs on batteries that power failures do not cause problems. In clinic in Sierra Leone is the tablet already been successfully tested. MSF hopes that the tablet can also be used in other humanitarian emergencies in the future.
