INFECTION RISK ESTIMATION APPARATUS, INFECTION RISK ESTIMATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240186013 titled 'INFECTION RISK ESTIMATION APPARATUS, INFECTION RISK ESTIMATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

An infection risk estimation apparatus acquires visitor information and infection status information to estimate the risk of being infected with a disease in a specific place.

Key Features and Innovation

  • First acquisition unit acquires visitor information.
  • Second acquisition unit acquires infection status information.
  • Estimation unit calculates a risk index based on visitor information and infection status information.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in healthcare settings, airports, public transportation, and other crowded places to assess infection risks.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in identifying high-risk areas for infection transmission and allows for targeted preventive measures.

Benefits

  • Improved infection control measures.
  • Enhanced public health safety.
  • Early detection of potential outbreaks.

Commercial Applications

  • Healthcare facilities for infection control.
  • Airports and transportation hubs for passenger safety.
  • Public events for crowd management.

Prior Art

There may be similar technologies used in epidemiology and public health for disease surveillance and risk assessment.

Frequently Updated Research

Research on new infectious diseases and their transmission patterns can enhance the accuracy of risk estimation using this technology.

Original Abstract Submitted

an infection risk estimation apparatus () includes a first acquisition unit () that acquires visitor information including an attribute of a visitor to a target place, a second acquisition unit () that acquires infection status information including infection status of an infection disease in each area, and an estimation unit () that acquires, by use of the visitor information and the infection status information, a first risk index r1 indicating a degree of a risk of being infected with the infection disease in the target place.
