JOI - Personal equipment to manipulate knobs without direct hands contact

Full Article:
The contagious COVID-19 pandemic made it necessary to adopt strategies to avoid contamination. COVID-19 spreads when someone is in direct contact with small droplets and particles that contain the virus. These droplets and particles can be active on surfaces that are shared by many people, so hand sanitation became an important aspect to prevent virus contamination. However, products for hand sanitation may not be available easily everywhere. Moreover, the excessive use of products like hand sanitizers and hand soaps can cause dryness and dermatitis on certain users. This paper describes the rapid prototyping of JOI, a device for users to avoid touching doorknobs, door bolts, switchers, and call buttons. The device was 3D printed (more than 400 units) and distributed to an academic community, which then answered a usability survey. Results show that the device is efficient to avoid the direct contact of users and surfaces that may be contaminated.
