A Secure Touch - HI system for PPE doffing process

A Secure Touch is a system-oriented design and industrial design project that focuses on posi-tioning the risks and giving the possible solution. The project concludes with a Hand-isolation system with a series of products called Secure Tools. The system is placed in the scenario of PPE doffing process (The process of taking off personal protection equipment) for healthcare work-ers. By introducing four Secure Tools into the whole PPE doffing process and abandoning tradi-tional hand hygiene solutions, a distance will emerge between hands and dirty PPEs, which pro-tects healthcare workers from getting self-contamination during the doffing process.

Because of the limitation of time, the project only ends up with a completion of Unzipper (Se-cure Tool-3) and exploration conclusions of Rapid Glove (Secure Tool-4).

Unzipper is a Secure Tool for achieving a more secured unzipping motion by isolating hands from the high-risk areas of coveralls, it is used in the scenario of coverall unzipping. Unzipper is a combination of two components, Tab and Arm. Tab is the part that connecting normal zip-per tabs from coveralls, it is the most important part for Unzipper tool, it has a function of zip-per-searching and unzipping. Arm is the auxiliary tool for Unzipper Tab. It is only used for some complex scenarios to blind search the Tab and unzip the coverall with a higher secure level.

Rapid glove is another Secure Tool that targeting secured easy hand motions, more details will be found from my report.
