आरोग्य सेतुः आरोग्यमान भवः
Before long, Aarogya Setu Team will launch E-pass feature as
described in :
Thank
You, Aarogya Setu Team ………………………………………….[
19 April 2020 ]
Aarogya
Setu : Good Beginning / Long Way to Go …………….[ 18 April 2020 ]
They might call it :
Aarogya Setu V 2.0
E-pass will go a long way to enforce SOCIAL DISTANCING
Social Distancing Detector will go even longer by raising ALARM when two persons come closer than
mandated 6 ft distance. May be Aarogya Setu Team is already
asking :
“ How do we
integrate this DETECTOR in V 2.0 ? “
But, Aarogya Setu Team is a restless team, always searching for
ideas for improvement , even as Bill Gates sent following letter to PM Shri Modiji :
"I’m glad your
government is fully utilizing its exceptional
digital capabilities in its
COVID-19 response and has launched the Aarogya Setu digital app for coronavirus tracking, contact tracing, and to connect people to health services.
Grateful to see that
you’re seeking to balance public health imperatives with the need to ensure
adequate social protection for all Indians," Gates further wrote.
That “ exceptional digital
capabilities “ of the Aarogya Setu Team
[ 'support.aarogyasetu@gov.in' ]
will feel challenged by the possibility of :
Ø Detecting
body temperature of a person, using E-Skin ( artificial Electronic Skin )
Ø E-Skin
( tiny patch ) relaying the temperature reading to person’s Mobile phone
Ø Aarogya
Setu installed on Mobile to transmit temperature reading to Central Covid
Database
Ø Database
alerting nearest COVID TESTING CENTRE to
rush with test kit
The Team might want to christen this V 3.0 ( feature named E-Skin ? )
In my following blog, I had reported about such a
body-patch :
Remotely
measuring Body Temperature ……………………………….[ 27 March 2020 ]
However, the main limitation of this thermal-sensing
body-patch ( developed by VivaLNK ) is :
Ø Need
for a re-chargeable battery ( every 7 days )
Ø Person
has to be lying in a bed
[ source :
But suppose we have a
body-patch that :
Ø does NOT need a battery ( to power it )
Ø can be applied to anyone moving around
Too good to be true

Caltech’s Wei Gao

… has developed an electronic skin, or e-skin, that is applied directly on top of
your real skin.
The e-skin,
made from soft, flexible rubber, can be embedded with sensors that monitor
information like heart rate, body temperature, levels of blood sugar and metabolic
byproducts that are indicators of health, and even the nerve signals that
control our muscles.
It does so without
the need for a battery, as it runs solely on biofuel cells powered by
one of the body’s own waste products.
‘Can we get sufficient energy from sweat to power the wearables ?’ and
the answer is yes.”
As they operate, the biofuel cells generate enough electricity to power sensors and a
Bluetooth device similar to the one
that connects your phone to your car stereo, allowing the e-skin to transmit
readings from its sensors wirelessly.
They ( Biofuel Cells ) can generate continuous, stable power output (as high as several
milliwatts per square centimeter) over multiple days in human sweat.
[ Further Details :
WHAT NEXT ?
Ø By
talking to Prof Wei Gao
, Aarogya Setu Team to find out the
possibility of E-Skin being able to transmit body-temperature data of the
wearer to Arogya Setu App ( - which, in turn, can transmit that data to COVID
CENTRAL DATABASE )
Ø Dr
Harsh Vardhanji ( Health Minister ) to
# inquire
with Prof Wei Gao , the
possibility of setting up in India, a plant for
Commercial Production of E-Skin
body-patches
#
time-period by which commercial production ( 10
million patches / day ) can start,
provided, free land is made available and a
grant of $ 100 million (Rs 700 crore ),
is given
Dear Dr Harsh Vardhanji,
With limited resources for
testing millions of Indians [ Test Kits – Healthcare Staff – Number of Labs ], in
a very short time, question arises :
From among our millions,
WHO do we test first ?
E-Skin seems to answer
that question
