The purpose of the business canvas is to install airborne pathogen sensors on all commercial planes will protect travelers and flight staff from airborne pathogens reducing exposure by 80%. According to the authors, the canvas is to install airborne pathogen sensors to manage behavior, movement, and transmission of airborne droplets, managing respiratory infection in transcontinental flights (Hertzberga et al., 2017). Thus, the purpose of the business is to improve transcontinental flight safety, accommodating human-centered design and technological advances.

It is normally necessary to detect the low concentration of the chemicals, biological and physiological substances in fluid systems. The flexible electronic technologies are of great importance compared to other conventional electronics that are built on rigid substrates. The sensor is much flexible. The combination of number of sensor and the ability to conform to the geometric configuration which allows for large volumes of fluids, gases and solids that are sampled at high sensitivity.

Customers accommodate passengers of all ages accommodating gender in equal measure to manage airborne infection amid transcontinental flights. Notably, customers require health-wise safety amid situations such as Covid-19 to manage personal and group well-being. Passengers and flight and service providers during a flight should acknowledge fundamental guidelines to ensure safety measures. Significantly, the customer description accommodates equality in managing the issues without discrepancies in demographics and psychographics considerations. Biosensors provide underpinning monitoring on airborne pathogens (Fronczek and Yoon, 2015). The value proposition accommodates customer need for wellness and safety amid transnational flights and a healthy environment.

Airborne pathogen sensors on all commercial planes will protect travelers and flight staff, revenues stream accommodates costumer’s willingness to pay an additional $15 for the safety and well-being amid transcontinental flights and, the contribution each customer revenue towards the overall revenues in the project. Notably, the revenue streams acknowledge usage fees as types, fixed price in customer segment and product feature dependent and, dynamic pricing negotiation, real-market, and yield management.

Summary

Airborne disease transmission has been a topic that has been of interests for many years. For an infection to occur organisms must be present on the environmental surfaces till the time they are transferred to a susceptible host at an appropriate entry point. The cabin presents a unique environment in which infections could occur. The cabin is a highly infectious area in that there is a high passenger through-put and while seated by hours, the sick individuals could contaminate the area. The moment the surface area is contaminated, the immediate people that are in the area are at risk of the being infected. The transmission process begins when an infected person releases the pathogen into the air. The healthy individual could then inhale the air or come in direct contact with the pathogen hence getting infected. The risk is very high in the aircraft cabins. Installing of the airborne pathogen sensor on the all the commercial planes will help to protect travelers and flight staff from airborne pathogens reducing the exposure by 80 percent (ACA, 2021).

From the outbreak of the Ebola to COVID-19, the world has had plenty of strange and scary outbreaks in the years. Some of the pathogens have landed in the U.S from various parts of the world which are mostly deadly. For one to stay healthy, there are standards tips that can be used to manage the infections. The first is to sanitize hands. This is done through brining on board alcohol-based sanitizers. This could be used before one could eat or drink. One could also use after visiting the bathroom or toilet (Fronczek, & Yoon, 2015).

With the current outbreak of the airborne disease such as COVID-19. There is need for technologies for sensors that can detect low concentrations of airborne pathogens in seconds and minutes to help detect pathogens such as COVID-19 and prevent further spread. The virus is particularly highlighted to enable safe conditions during work and travel. The air pathogen sensors aim to identify pathogen signatures suitable for rapid indoor air monitoring and use the signatures to develop and demonstrate readiness (Gao et al., 2018).

The recent developments in the radio frequency vibrometry and emerging immunosensing techniques, together with electrochemical detection methods are best approaches to monitoring of airborne pathogens. The approaches enables sample agnostic detection of low viral concentrations in seconds to minutes of real-time detections (Hertzberga et al., 2018).

The second means of the controlling and managing infections in the airplane cabins is to blow away microbes. It is important to catch a pathogen in the planes recycled air. It would be best to set the ventilation at low or medium. When on puts the hands in on their laps, they should be able to feel the current of the ventilators. Then if something infectious is floating in one’s personal space, the air for the vent will create enough current to block it away. It is important to point out that installing air pathogen sensors would help to increase the effectiveness of the ventilators. The pathogens sensors are program to detect the pathogen levels that could be present in the cabin. Upon increasing number of pathogens in the cabin. The sensors will trigger the ventilators to increase the speed at which it blows the infected air from the cabin (Waddell, 2019).

People can easily get infected while in the areophane. The common areas in which infections could occurs include the toilet button, armrest, and plastic tray table. The areas need to be sterilized frequently to ensure that there are no microbial loads and if existing reduced. It is important to point out that despite sterilization being conducted, it is difficult to determine how safe the cabin could be from the pathogens. It is also through adoption of the pathogen sensors that one can be able to determine the pathogen load. Some of the bacterial survive in surfaces for a long time compared to others. the air pathogen sensors will be able to inform the cleaning staff or sanitizing staff the areas that needs to be worked on further to reduce the pathogen load. The members of the public should be made aware that one stand higher chances of picking an infection from the plane that they could reduce the risk of the following the traditional hygiene protocols such as sanitizing. Sanitizing and air pathogen sensors technology will help to reduce the risk of getting and infection (Waddell, 2019).

Airplanes have high-tech air filters that remove 99 percent of the dust and microbes present in the air. The ventilation is compartmentalized to allow the air to circulate in various parts of the cabin. Despite the effectiveness of the ventilators, one that is sitting close to a sick passenger stands high risk of getting an infection. The several airborne diseases such as TB move around on planes. The pathogen sensor would immediately recognize the presence of a pathogen and swing into action to eliminate it before it can cause any harm. People will not have to worry much about pathogen load that could be present in the air for pathogen sensor systems will be mostly working to ensure they are safe (Fronczek, & Yoon, 2015).
