Let's Clean.
We know that Ebola spreads through human-to-human transmission via direct contact. But the spread is also possible through blood, secretions or other bodily fluids of infected people. The problem lays when one doesn’t know what can be contaminated, d
Initial symptoms triage by text message
Similar to NHS Symptoms checker online, if those who suspect they are ill could use a text service as an initial illness triage then remedial action could be taken immediately.
Let's play.
According to healthcare workers the first step to treat Ebola starts by understanding the amount of fluid and the kind of electrolyte lost by the patient and replacing them. The fever is also a crucial tracking factor for healthcare workers. In this
Lye Body Disposal - Mexican Cartel Style
A major problem in Africa is that the bodies are not being properly disposed, some corpses were even dumped in swamps and the bodies resurface. Communities don't want ebola graves near their homes and there are other hazards such as an animal might
A personal portable toilet to prevent contact with foreign bodily fluids
The Ebola virus is transmitted through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, the most infectious being blood, faeces and vomit. 2.9 million Liberians have no latrine or share unsanitery latrines. Our idea aims to provide the population in cris
Can we make the human body less hospitable to Ebola?
The Ebola virus requires specific substances in any host where it exists and multiplies. This includes a need for amino acids, the basic building block of proteins, to make its protein-based viral coat. During the process of replication ebola app

The Ebola Family Protection Kits are designed and created for the people and families in at risk areas for Ebola in West Africa.
Contains:
- plastic bags for biohazardous fluids
- tent for quarantine - upside down mosquito net-like structure made

Give survivors a hot bath to reduce risk of infection by sex
Suggested by a nurse friend: immersion of the testicles in hot water reduces sperm count. Give surviving male patients a very hot bath before discharging them, to kill off some or all of the surviving infected sperm. (NOTE first comment below which

IDEO EBOLA COMMUNITY ACTION ROOM - This is a complex multi-dimensional problem. We need to see the forest instead of the trees. We've created a framework for everyone actively designing solutions to come together for holistic design.
The Ebola Community Action Room is moving fast! Through Onu and others with networks in West Africa, we have established contact with a great group of community activists with many community volunteers throughout Liberia. This is true citizen-to-citi

Three ways to prevent Ebola
To help prevent infection and the transmission of Ebola, the following prevention measures should be concentrated by the whole community. Firstly, avoid the sensitive places. For example, before traveling to Africa, do some research about the current
Cool down health workers in PPE suits with INSTANT COLD PACKS (endothermic reaction - no electricity/prior cooling needed) applied targeting BODY COOLING SPOTS (and after use the waste becomes FERTILIZER)
There are 2 main principles: 1. cooling solution must be TARGETED AT NATURAL COOLING SPOTS on the human body (why waste energy cooling the hole costume/body when you can cool several spots and make the body FEEL cool. And workers stay more in costum
Demolishing Ebola Behind The Stalls
The idea is that these specialized, low-power flush toilets with small holes, electronically rotate-disposing toilet covers (like they have at the airports,) and auto-flush gadgets will help prevent the spread of ebola germs in bathrooms because they

Retrofit Packaged Goods with Prevention Kits
Packaged goods that can be easily found in local marketplaces can be retrofitted to carry basic hygiene and sanitary kits. By repurposing the packaging and distribution networks of consumer products, we can get more sanitary supplies into the hands o
