MSF on ‘Ebola-proof’ tablet
Medics battling Ebola in West Africa have struggled to record details of their patients' condition - because of the protective clothing they have to wear.

To solve the problem a group of volunteers have developed a tablet computer that can be dropped in chlorine to sterilise it; and that can be charged by being placed on a table.
Ivan Gayton is a field worker with Medecins Sans Frontieres who advises them on technology, and explains how the 'Ebola-proof' device works.
