Design of Solar Powered Vaccine Backpack

Abstract

Pandemic effects rural and indigenous area that is hard and far to reach by vehicles. Most of the medical deliveries to this remote area is done on foot and taken days to reach destination. Vaccine consistency is affected by their ambient temperature and duration of exposure to adverse temperature in their deliveries. In this research, the development of a reliable personnel backpack that provides self-sustainable energy for vaccine cold storage is proposed. This vaccine storage should support the ambient and stable temperature with at least between 2° -8° Celsius. The problem on the transportation infrastructure in rural and remote area need to be addressed. Most of delivery is done by foot through the jungle or footpath that cannot be crossed by vehicles. Multi modal of power source is needed to accommodate the lack of electricity along the route in rural and remote area. Ergonomics and lightweight are also important for the personnel to bring the vaccine.

THERMOD: Development of a Cost Effective Solution for Integrated Sensing and Logging

“…In contrast, some researchers solely focused on self-sustained solar-energy-based monitoring and logging solutions. For instance, the authors in [16] and [17], have designed solar power vaccine backpacks for remote areas providing self-sustainable energy solutions for vaccine cold storage and data logging respectively. However, exposure to sunlight/UV rays may affect the vaccine's potency.…”

An Expert System Dataset for Checking the Potential for Administering a Covid-19 Vaccine in Indonesia: Forward-Chaining Inference Machine Approach

“…Covid-19 has now spread worldwide with positive numbers that continue to increase. The government has made various efforts to overcome the increasing number of Covid-19 transmissions, including vaccination programs [1]- [4]. Successful vaccination is necessary for a large population to form natural immunity.…”
