PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
This pandemic situation has shown how easy it is for
any person to become infected with viruses and
bacteria, and even more so, if they are in the midst
of health care because of their work, and even more
so when the protective elements they use, apart
from being expensive, do not guarantee greater
protection. So there is a need for a textile material
that is used for the manufacture of clothing that
protects people who are in places with an excess of
viral load such as hospitals, but also has the
characteristic of "self-cleaning". It is worrying the
amount of medical and health personnel, as well as
patients who arrive with another diagnosis to the
virus, die prey of the infected and all by the
conditions of the elements of biosecurity.
HOW IS THE IDEA BORN? WHAT ARE WE TRYING
TO ACHIEVE? WHAT HAVE WE ADVANCED IN?
How was the idea born?
This project arose from a small brainstorming that we
had to do as part of a research work and after many
times we decided that what we wanted was to relate it
to the pandemic that we are suffering now.
What are we trying to achieve?
Provide alternatives for improving the safety
conditions that health personnel face daily in this
emergency situation (covid-19), and make the
community feel more calm and confident in the
face of any illness that leads to consult medical
centers.
How have we advanced?
In the minimum knowledge to develop an
investigation, how to pose the problem, the
problematizing question, in some readings on the
subject, as well as in the design and presentation of
the web page

RESEARCH QUESTION

How to develop a biosafety material that is

"self-cleaning" to improve the protection of
health personnel and patients?
