In the fight against Ebola are the rescuers from head to toe in protective clothing, to prevent the virus infected. Google helps by these care providers to develop a special washable tablet. Which can be sterilized.
The charitable arm of Google was asked of the Ebola-fighters if it was possible to think of a tablet which does not have to be touched, and can be sterilized. As is known, the screen surface of tablets and smartphones is usually dirtier than the average toilet seat. Infections with Ebola were so easily able to go through the screen of a tablet.
The rescuers use the tablets for accessing medical information and records. MSF asked Google for a tablet that is appropriate in the fight against Ebola. Google this invented a tablet which is completely packaged in polycarbonate, which may withstand high temperatures and without any problems for ten minutes can be immersed in a solution of chlorine to kill bacteria and viruses.
The tablet is equipped with all kinds of medical software and hardware, why MSF also see other possibilities for this “medical tablet. Perhaps in time the tablet is also used in the fight against other diseases
