  • RISK EVALUATION OF TRANSMISSION OF PATHOGENS IN A SPACE
    Publication number: 20220138347
    Abstract: Evaluating certain risks that are involved with respect to the transmission of pathogens in a given physical space. Some aspects of the present invention include applying privacy-preserving artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and physics-based simulations on image data to characterize the potential source of pathogens. A multi-outcome artificial intelligence (AI) model that identifies object interactions and human actions, combined with physics-based simulations is used to accurately evaluate pathogen load distributions and infection risks.
