Secpho, a deep tech innovation cluster from Spain, has collected some of its members' solutions that Deep Tech, and especially photonic technologies, can offer for a reactivation of daily post-COVID-19 economic activities, in order to adapt to the new normal. These include the following:

• Sterilisation Systems: Sterilization technology through UV lighting can be a powerful ally against COVID-19. LED ultraviolet light (UVC) technology for sanitation and purification purposes is common in the hospital environment, as it can kill microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, or prevent their development. These are the different solutions offered by secpho members:
  • UVC Light + Violet Light + Multispectral Light. 
  • Infrared radiation + UV light.
  • UVC LIGHT + Mobile collaborative robots. 

• Detection Systems: Either to monitor and remember the social distance between people or to identify those with fever. These include:
  • Thermography + Air Purifiers + Spectroscopy. 
  • Thermography + Deep Learning. 
  • Optical 3D sensors for man-machine interface. 
  • Electromagnetic Sensors + Radiofrequency Signals. .
  • Integrated photonic biosensors for rapid determination of coronavirus

• Prevention of Contact between Healthcare Personnel and Patients: Robotics and Artificial Intelligence can be of great help in limiting physical interaction between people without diminishing the quality of service and reducing the risk of contagion, includes:
  • Collaborative mobile robotics. 
  • Artificial Intelligence to measure the level of insulin
