Abstract

The tourism is the globalization's weakest link because travelling has become one of the most risky activity due to the COVID-19. Therefore we must prepare well in advance to make travel safer in the post-pandemic step. The paper addresses the definition of furnished space model for traveler-tourist, designed of within the user-centered design philosophy. This allows the individual to fully experience the journey, monitoring with respect for privacy his state of health, thanks to the lab-on-a-chip, the microfluidic device that is revolutionizing the field of clinical diagnostics. The LOC technology could have an extremely interesting field of application in tourism and contribute to improve many services provided to passengers, as in air travel as in Hyperloop. The LOC thanks to its intrinsic advantages in terms of portability, accessibility, and technology, will allow the realization of intelligent mobility systems that combine the future expected perspectives of personalized preventive medicine during "journey".
