In this study, a low-cost, long-range, multi-UAV communication system was designed to support medical cargo drone delivery in rural areas. The design was built on the premises of simplicity, accessibility and reliability. Three dissimilar communication links - cellular, SMS and satellite - were selected to provide progressive fallback with decreasing availability of cellular coverage in rural areas. Other components of the system such as the user interface were also designed with the concept of simplicity. Preliminary lab tests were conducted as a first pass verification of the system effectiveness. The findings were a proof-of-concept that it was possible to design a multi-UAV communication system using low-cost, accessible equipment that could be operated by non-technical personnel, yet at the same time ensure reliable communication. Such advantages made the design more suited for medical drone delivery in rural areas as compared to commercial GCS. Limitations (e.g. high latency) and future work (e.g. performing flight tests in real world environments) were discussed. Conversations with stakeholders showed that the potential use case involved supporting a rural hospital in medical cargo drone delivery to surrounding villages and medical outposts.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132773864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our proposal aims to offer an integrative and relational methodology for the study of Intangible Cultural Heritage, based on three pillars: Decolonisation as a process of reconfiguring the structure of research on native peoples, Regenerative Design for the recovery of the territory and its ecosystem, and Digital Humanities for its link between qualitative elements and cutting-edge technologies. To this end, the ethical use of digital techniques is explored by presenting two case studies: analysing their correct use (Translating the physical world into sound) and questioning the technology (Face Image Motion). Finally, a framework is elaborated for a sustainable future in which the pre-existence and the ecosystem occupy their rightful role in the natural development of the human being, redefining the role of the researcher: generalist and specialist, without disregarding the general context of the study.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130708591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We identified the need for a memorable educational artifact to initiate and sustain an interest in electrical engineering. Our developed artifact is aimed at increasing the educational impact of outreach initiatives to encourage high school learners to study engineering. As a result, learners are exposed to interactive technologies and fundamentals of electrical engineering at a pre-university level. In this paper, we present an active and interactive educational autonomous/remote controlled solar car. The design is based on the ‘sense, think and act’ philosophy. The device incorporates digital signal processing, control, power, communication, and robotics. The first field test in the form of an educational outreach demonstrated that learners engaged positively with the car and had a keen interest in electrical engineering applications. The implications of this study are that the solar car proved to be an effective educational outreach tool for engineering, and that it met the project's technical requirements.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117138637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This device has been tested in a pilot study on patients with confirmed Covid-19, determined by antigen tests, who were undergoing home quarantine. The system uses a Raspberry pi CPU with a PiCamera attached to perform optical character recognition from the displays of low-cost finger pulse oximeters and digital axillary thermometers. The temperature of the finger being measured using pulse oximetry was also recorded, as an additional variable, using a thermistor in contact with the finger. In a pilot prototype validation study, undertaken in Peru with eleven patients, the average oxygen saturation of patients living at 3350 meters above sea level was 92.88%, with a standard deviation of 1.65%. A patient with moderate symptoms and a patient with a deteriorating condition had temporary saturation levels below 88%. Axillary temperature and respiratory rate did not vary considerably over the study period. Finger temperature data was used to determine correct human-computer interaction with respect to measurement errors, failed attempts and to control sampling efficiency, which can be affected by cold fingers.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115773185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Energy is needed for lighting, communication and in particular cooking. Cooking requires fuels and it tends to fall on women and children to collect firewood. Therefore, this research is about developing an energy system that can meet the basic energy requirements for a family in rural off-grid or humanitarian contexts. A literature review was undertaken to assess the range of interventions already taking place for example, solar home systems. This led to a systemic development process for designing the device. Subsequently, a portable photovoltaic power station has been developed to meet the energy needs of a family in refugee or other contexts. This consists of a 360W PV module, 25.6V 75Ah lithium-iron-phosphate battery rated at 20A (500W), MPPT charge controller, breakers, connectors, and an enclosure, as well as USB lights and two cooking appliances. The system has been laboratory tested to ensure it delivers the power requirements for cooking and other services. Furthermore, typical meals have been cooked with different food loads. The next steps are a field trial in which 60 pilot systems will be during 2022.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"429 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134218065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One reasons for this is non-availability of cost effective equipment in most schools for conducting experiments to bridge the gap between theory and practical skills. LearnOBots is a startup out of the National University of Sciences and Technology at Islamabad, Pakistan, that is focusing on solving this problem. Inspired by the global Maker movement, it has developed hardware kits and lessons that have practically introduced thousands of high-school and freshmen college age learners to computer programming, robotics and embedded system design. This was achieved by conducting summer camps, winter camps, weekend camps and Maker days over the past six years that go beyond slideshows and lectures. We describe LearnOBots CODI Bot kit along with six projects that teach learners fundamentals of robotics, programming and practical problem solving. To assess the effectiveness of the developed material we conducted pre- and post-surveys with participants as well as focus groups with learners, parents and teachers. Survey and focus group results showed that after just eight lessons students demonstrated markedly improved technical/digital literacy skills and grater enthusiasm for STEM careers.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130411079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Governments all over the world have taken measures to reduce the spread of the virus. Home quarantine was proven to be a successful way to control and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The current methods of tracking home-quarantined people use tracking bracelets or mobile applications, which are still in their early development stage. In this paper, we propose a quarantine tracking system to track users during their quarantine period. The system consists of a web portal designed for the concerned authorities and the quarantined user's mobile application. The proposed application randomly prompts users to verify their quarantine by uploading their selfies. We verify the user's quarantine status through an automatic location and selfie verification. Our system provides a specific set of features that can be set by the concerned authorities, such as the frequency of prompts and the allowed response time. Violation reports can also be accessed by the concerned authorities to keep track of quarantined users' violations. Our results validate the usefulness and potential of our system as a quarantine tracking tool. It also opens the door for further development, allowing governments to handle any upcoming pandemics.","PeriodicalId":372194,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117263891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
