With your contribution a lot of lives can be saved from COVID-19 - Help us going viral by spreading this message and become a BoxMe🌍 Ambassador!

Please support us in raising funds to curb the virus with this solution! https://igg.me/at/boxmeo/x/23700279#/

The problem your project solves

  • Protective face masks play an important role in the fight against covid-19.
  • Scientists all over the world recommend wearing them.
  • We have a worldwide shortage of protective masks and we are forced to reuse them.Used, uncleaned protective masks become unsanitary over time, they can be contaminated with the Covid 19 virus.
  • more infections through the masks
  • spreading of the corona virus through the masks
  • Using one-way masks brings a lot of waste.

The solution you bring to the table (including technical details, architecture, tools used)

  • Clean Mask Disinfection Box
  • simple, cheap, affordable
  • Can easily decontaminate the face masks simply using the sun energy.
  • The sun heats the box to 60 °- 80+ ° C and destroys most pathogens as well as the Covid-19 virus
  • Can also in the future be used in regions in which medical disinfection is not technically possible
  • Can locally inhibit the emergence of new viral epidemics by allowing local medical professionals to make medical technology virus-free
  • Helps to curb the pandemic
  • Sustainable
  • less waste because of reusing masks
  • reduces water consumption worldwide

What you have done during the weekend

  • Hacking for the prototype
  • Get market informations
  • Creating Pitch/Video
  • Product validation with mentors and lawyers

The solution’s impact to the crisis

  • The Clean-Box enables everyone in the world a hygienic method to disinfect their face masks or other medical technology and thus inactivate Covid-19 or other viruses or pathogens (also in regions of water shortage).
  • The Clean Disinfection Box is Sustainable and helps reusing of masks worldwide.
  • The Clean Disinfection Box is humanitarian because it is very easy to be delivered and distributed by UNHCR, UN into developing countries.

The necessities in order to continue the project

Your network to producers & funding is needed for the patent in order to scale fast and launch it.

The value of your solution(s) after the crisis

  • In the future the Clean-Box can be used in regions in which medical disinfection is not technically possible
  • The Clean-Box can locally inhibit the emergence of new viral epidemics by allowing local medical professionals to make medical technology virus-free

Please see prototype-pictures in the pitch. Since we do not want to violate the rules for a patent application for this product, we cannot deliver images of our prototype to the public via URL. You can find more detailed information in our pitch. If these are not sufficient, we can send you more information.


Inspiration

Using nature to sterilize face masks - the sun. For everybody accessible. If poor or wealthy.

What it does

Disinfects face masks with an easy to build product. Using the power of nature to disinfect the masks. Therefore we only need two materials. One black box (made from aluminium etc.) and one glas cover. Put the mask in the box, cover it with glas, and let the sun do her magic.

How I built it

Simple box with glas cover
