Abstract: An alert system usable to protect an individual from infectious disease is disclosed. The alert system can make use of one or more body-worn sensors to identify different entities within an environment, as well as their positional relationship (e.g., distance) to a reference location (e.g., the user and/or the alert system). The alert system can present alerts, such as through an augmented reality (AR) display, to identify potential risks and provide information to help minimize risk of infection. The AR display can identify risks with helpful and easy-to-interpret graphics or other overlays. Potential risks can include proximity to other individuals in an environment, contact with high-touch surfaces (e.g., fomites), insufficient cleaning (e.g., insufficient handwashing techniques), and others. The alert system can monitor the environment in real-time to assist the user in preventing transmission of pathogens to or from the user.
