Several companies belonging to [Espaitec](https://espaitec.uji.es/en/), the Science and Technology Park of the UJI, have made their contribution to the health emergency caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Espaitec is an innovative business development ecosystem. It has remained active by means of the solutions developed by their companies, with the participation of its own FabLab, as well as generating added value thanks to the diffusion of these solutions at national level across the Association of Scientific and Technological Parks (APTE).

Specifically, eight initiatives have been developed to try to mitigate the effects caused by this virus. To start with, the company [ActualMed](http://www.actualmed.com/) has developed free teleradiologies carried out in 30 minutes, thus reducing the time of diagnosis in health centres and offering a free diagnosis of CT scans and chest X-rays, for patients with suspicion or diagnosis of COVID-19, defining the severity of infection and preventing deaths.

The firm [Amazing Up](https://www.amazing-up.es/) has created a volunteer service for the elderly, for people with functional diversity and people who cannot leave their homes. The system works through selected persons who go through a validation system with technical training on how to provide the service, thus creating a safe and reliable environment. As they like to say, it is an initiative "of all and for all against COVID-19". The platform can also provide information for laboratories and enables to donate medical equipment, among other options.

[Nob166](https://nob166.com/es/proteccionantimicrobiana/) is a company specialising in research into nanotechnology for the textile antimicrobial cleaning sector. They have developed NOB166®, a powerful antimicrobial with a protective capacity of up to seven days, capable of inactivating the proteins of the coronavirus to prevent their replication in textiles, thanks to an encapsulation system that releases the active ingredient in a controlled way and its biocidal capacity that acts at different levels. The results of the test of NOB166®, carried out by an independent laboratory for the evaluation of the viricidal activity according to standard EN 14.476 against the coronavirus, have been conclusive.

The company [I-care](https://www.icareweb.com/es-es/) has created a solution through infrared thermal cameras to detect body temperature by implementing the automatic measurement of body temperature. This solution can be placed at the entrance of work centres to prevent access in case people are in a feverish process.

The firm [Biótica](https://www.biotica.es/)is researching a method to selectively concentrate the virus in order to allow the precise and reliable detection of minimal traces. Rapid and sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 (proteins, RNA and DNA) and antibodies is crucial to restrict the spread of the disease, improve the therapeutic outcome and control the return to healthy activity. The proposed method is scalable to provide several thousand tests per day and machine.

Another company that has joined the fight against the pandemic has been [SemanticBots](https://www.semanticbots.com/), which, in collaboration with researchers from the Universitat Jaume I, has created an accessible chatbot, thus solving the problem of visually impaired and elderly people to access digital information related to the extraordinary situation created by the coronavirus. The chatbot contains more than 400 answers, and the whole information base is taken mainly from public bodies, the Valencian Government, the Spanish Government and other reliable international bodies.

The firm [Cuatroochenta](https://cuatroochenta.com/), through its subsidiary company Asintec, has provided its IoT system for patient requests belonging to its intelligent service management platform CheckingPlan. The platform has been adapted and operational in less than a week. Vodafone Spain has included CheckingPlan in the set of technological solutions available to the IFEMA field hospital in Madrid to provide it with a solid communication and services infrastructure, aimed at improving health coordination and the well-being of patients affected by COVID-19.

Finally, the Espaitec's FabLab in collaboration with Hackerspace, all its #FabLab equipment (3D printing equipment, laser cutters, milling machines) has been made available to the health authorities of the Valencian Government for manufacturing pieces for facial screens, masks and automation of manual breathing systems.
