Research strategies against COVID-19 of Tec de Monterrey
Tec de Monterrey has the Model of Intervention of Tec before the COVID-19. This model is carried out in collaboration with key actors at all levels of government: municipal, state and federal, and with companies, universities and communities.
The Institution is identifying demands from society to generate quick solutions to face the challenges of the pandemic as well as those that we will seek to implement to resolve the financial, social, health and other consequences once the emergency has been overcome.

The technical data sheets of products, developed in Tec de Monterrey, with the capacity to provide solutions to different needs related to COVID-19, are described below:
* Mask MADiT
Personal protective device, decreases the likelihood of exposure to splashes and body fluid aerosols generated during medical care, protecting the mouth, nose and eyes.
* Mask of type diver against COVID-19
This technological protection solution is ideal for health personnel. The mask has membranes for circular air outlet through coples. With the technology of 3D printing it was possible for the diving mask to become an alternative for virus protection.
* Virtual Laboratories
Low-cost laboratory equipment platforms based on computer emulators of Programmable Controllers and Operating Panels (HMI Devices), as well as Virtual Machines or Virtual Reality Machines for the emulation of manufacturing processes.
* Remote Laboratories
Remotely accessible physical laboratory resources using telepresence systems.
* Cyber Physical Laboratories
Platforms that integrate perfectly matched physical and virtual elements, where physical laboratory elements for conducting experiments and automation practices, robotics and control, are equipped with real control devices and virtual reality machines for process emulation.
* Map of traceability by State and Municipality COVID-19
The www.mexicovid19.mx platform is a joint effort of a group of students and teachers of Tec de Monterrey to provide follow-up and easy access to the most relevant health information in the context of the coronavirus pandemic in Mexico.

MexiCovid19
The www.mexicovid19.mx site is a joint effort of Tec students, teachers and researchers to follow up on health information in the context of the pandemic, such as the coroplético map of the number of infections by states, as well as different analyses carried out by experts in political science, using visualization tools and applied research.
Expert Core
This site developed by the Research Directorate presents the scientific work carried out by each of the researchers of the Tec de Monterrey, showing all their scientific production, such as articles, books, number of citations, academic degrees, lines of research, attachments and patents applied for. In addition, it allows visualizing the interrelation between each of the researchers. The experts of the Tec de Monterrey are working to make demands out of the complex situation that is leaving the COVID-19.
Get to know them!!
Reto Covid-19
This open innovation and linkage platform developed by the Network of Technology Transfer Offices is aimed at enabling society to propose and share solutions to the challenges related to COVID-19. The possible solutions are divided into 5 categories (Health, Community, Business, Education, and Information), which in turn are divided into three major categories: Existing Products, Ready-to-Offer Services and Ongoing Developments. Get involved!
Observatory of Educational Innovation
Below you can find a series of educational resources, practices, and articles for teachers, non-academic staff, and students to address the global crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The objective of this initiative is to foster collaborative work among experts from various areas of the knowledge of our Institution, to analyze the repercussions derived from COVID-19 that have triggered an unprecedented situation in the modern world, and have led us to rethink all our systems and our way of life as we know it.
This requires the generation of interdisciplinary proposals and solutions that are viable for society and help address the problems that the pandemic generates. To this end, teachers, researchers and postgraduate students are working, which will allow us to generate impact solutions over a period of 2 months.
To achieve this, a number of clusters of work have been established that encompass issues and challenges by area:
