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 workers. By introducing four Secure Tools into the whole PPE doffing process and abandoning traditional hand hygiene solutions, a distance will emerge between hands and dirty PPEs, which protects 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.
