  • Patent number: 11877871
    Abstract: An infectious disease prevention supporting device according to an embodiment of the present invention is an infectious disease prevention supporting device including a processor. The processor is configured to perform a detection process that detects a motion of a forearm or a wrist by a user, a proximity determination process that determines whether the user's hand is in proximity to a mucosa of the user's face based on the motion detected by the detection process for a predetermined period of time, and a warning generation process that generates a warning to suppress the proximity of the user's hand to the mucosa when it is determined by the proximity determination process that the user's hand is in proximity to the mucosa.
