Moc rádi vidíme, že naše bezdrátová meshová technologie #IQRF je využita i v senzorech nasazených na #covid jednotkách. Díky za vaše inovativní technické myšlení, kolegové z IQRF Alliance, výzkumníci z VSB - Technical University of Ostrava! https://lnkd.in/gazH-9Ah
Researchers from the Department of Cybernetics and Biomedical Engineering of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, VSB - Technical University of Ostrava have developed a wireless sensor monitoring oxygen concentration in the air at the covid units of the University Hospital in Ostrava, where doctors perform oxygen therapy treatments. However, these treatments are followed by an increased risk of a dangerous oxygen concentration or even fire and explosion. Until recently, a commercially available wireless sensor for measuring oxygen concentration did not exist. However, the team from the Department of Cybernetics and Biomedical Engineering FEI VŠB-TUO consisting of Radovan Hájovský, Jan Velička and Martin Pieš created their own sensor within three months. "Working on it was a challenge in itself because the development took place in limited lockdown conditions. We had to find a suitable sensor, connection method, wireless technology and design solution," explains team leader Radovan Hájovský.

The normal level in the air is 21%. If the concentration is increased, there is an increased risk of fire. Unfortunately, these accidents have already been reported in several hospitals, for example in Romania and Turkey. You can contact also these members of the team - Martin Pies and Jan Velička.
