We are impressed about the engagement people have shown to this challenge. Here you may read about all the 10 winning innovative solutions that can help people stay safe as they remain in their home.
All projects and solutions are using ultra low power wireless technology by Nordic, either Bluetooth Low Energy, Thread, Zigbee or cellular IoT (LTE-M/NB-IoT).
The coronavirus outbreak has a global effect on the society and economy and also impacted the people, organization and operations of Nordic Semiconductor.
The Connect the Community: Design Challenge is calling on creators of any kind (engineers, students, SMEs, or creative thinkers looking for something to do while stuck at home) who have an IoT technology-based idea for how to improve the lives of people struggling or left vulnerable due to Covid-19 lockdown-induced isolation
Slowing the spread of coronavirus using low-cost, open source technology!
The Security Bubble Covid-19 employs
Insight SiP’s ISP3010 module featuring Nordic’s nRF52832 SoC to perform precise
proximity measurement
It is essential workers in places such as hospitals, warehouses, factories, grocery stores, post offices, and delivery depots that are keeping the lockdown world functional right now. Yet if one of their co-workers was to contract Covid-19 and infect large numbers of their colleagues, an entire essential facility could potentially have to close down potentially causing shortages and panic. Estimote says it has the answer

This no screws ‘stick on’ battery-powered device monitors and engages users how to wash their hands properly, giving them a performance score out of 100, and is designed to be installed at high footfall locations such as toilets located near staff canteens or building entrances
Problems sleeping can manifest themselves in not just unexplained fatigue but all kinds of secondary medical conditions and doctors have long sent patients to sleep labs to determine if sleep apnea is the cause. But in response to widespread sleep lab closures due to Covid-19, one medtech startup is claiming its Bluetooth LE finger-worn wireless sleep sensor is an accurate alternative for a fraction of the inpatient cost
The UNDP’s Detect & Protect Challenge seeks to develop open source products and solutions that will help slow or prevent the spread of Covid-19 in developing countries where its impact could be catastrophic
