Abstract: With respect to pandemics, restaurants, stadiums, cafeterias, and bars are among the most dangerous places to socialize due to the form of interaction. Exchange of bacteria and viruses are facilitated intensively from the mouth and nose via air transport in droplets of saliva and bodily fluids being deposited on surfaces, foods, and in the air. The present development creates a comfortable environment where the air-space of each customer is separated by invisible cold-hot air and vis-UV barriers, which take away bacteria and viruses, destroying them and preventing recirculation while offering pleasant, clean, and sanitized ambient conditions for a face to face meeting. An immersive experience can be provided with surrounding screens and gas therapy that may be customized according to the customer's preferences. Food distribution is performed with a robotic shuttle system and when the customer departs, an extensive cleanup is performed using chemicals and UV irradiation through robotic systems.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to an improved system for assessing and treating a wound. Specifically, a wound is identified in a patient by uploading or entering information about the wound and/or patient (e.g., type of wound, wound location, patient history). The wound image is captured, such as through an imaging device (e.g., phone, tablet, computer) and uploaded to the system. The image is then reviewed by a professional, such as a medical professional that specializes in treating a variety of wounds. The disclosed system uses an algorithmic approach to develop a systematic method to integrate selected data about the patient and deliver clinical care suggestions immediately to the patient or caregiver.
