This year, coronavirus attack the world unexpectedly. With the ongoing outbreak, our healthcare systems across the world have been pushed to the brink. We realized the approach of traditional healthcare systems to disaster preparedness and prevention has demonstrated problems, with failures like hospitals' laundry overwhelmed, or cleaning staffs exhaustion, etc. Whether the capacity of it can keep pace with diseases is a serious concern. Reversely, it gives us indications about post-epidemic for the future, like upgrading infrastructure and so on.

That evolves Douv, an artificial intelligent badge with platforms empowering cleaning procedures in hospitals under pandemic times. It visually adapts based on data system, shows a hospital’s state of the environment, transfers into responsive actions for cleaners in real-time. With customized modules, more localized functions would be embedded in different hospitals.
