“Bubble Bump”, by Alina Pshenichnikova (Moscow, Russia).

A device that automatically releases liquid disinfectant in the shape of soap bubbles to ensure that children keep their hands clean and free of the risk of contagion. Its design and operation turn handwashing into something fun for a specific segment of the population (aged 1 to 6), not used to regular hygiene but with great transmitting power. Designed for nursery schools and children’s areas (malls, hospitals, etc.), it also has an infrared sensor to measure body temperature.

“UVClean”, by Lidia Grits (Milan, Italy) and Ekaterina Epifanova (Moscow, Russia).

Faucet equipped with a UV-light cabin to disinfect objects such as mobile phones while the user washes his/her hands. The project focuses on objects that can spread coronavirus; specifically, on mobile phones, defined as “the third hand we never wash.” The device is made up of a faucet, a soap dispenser and a dryer, which activate with a touchless system, as well as a small cabin to place personal items. While the user washes his/her hands, the objects are disinfected with a UV-light system and can be afterwards collected with clean hands and without contact with risk surfaces.
