Production Technology: The Pod features a solid body made of polymethyl methacrylate and natural mineral aluminum hydroxide composite, with improved thermoplastic mouldability, and improved hygienic properties. The outer body of the pod is coated in Nano-based antiviral antibacterial coating, to prevent the transmission of disease between high touch surfaces. Another alternative to the coating, is using Graphene oxide (GO) sheets with silver particles in the cladding the pods, to prevent viral infection.
Design Challenge: The main design problem addressed was how to offer protection from Covid19 infection to essential workers.
Research: Research was done on the methods of infection of Covid19. The research took place online from trusted medical sources, relying mainly on the World Health Organization data and other respected international medical organizations. Studies on the Antiviral Coatings that can prevent COVID-19 Like Pandemics was also referred to.
Inspiration: With the world under lock-down for an extended period of time, some essential businesses still has to keep at least the bare minimum of its workforce, working physically on site to provide necessary and vital supplies for the health supply chain.

Qworkntine envisions a solution for these essential businesses and production lines, by providing safe isolated pods for workers who has to be physically located at their workplaces, where they can work while avoiding the risk of infection.
Project Duration: The Project started in March 2020 in Cairo, and ended in April 2020 in Cairo.
Operation Flow: The pod owner approaches the pod, it detects his/her face, it automatically operates, opening the door, operating the fans and filters, and turning on the light. It shuts the door automatically upon entry, and stays operative for as long as the work time continues. Upon leaving the pod the pod shuts down and doesn't open until he/she returns.
