client: Saaras Mehan, Microsoft Research <smehan@microsoft.com>

Lives and businesses have been transformed by the pandemic, with network technology now more critical than ever. What are the implications for smart buildings and the Internet of Things? Which classic IoT use cases are now irrelevant, and what new opportunities are there? Your task is to use the Microsoft Azure Sphere IoT platform to address one of the new problems of the COVID-19 era. Your client can provide a range of accessories (e.g cameras, sensors and actuators), and your solutions should be documented openly (e.g. on GitHub) to enable broader benefits.
