SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING THE SPREAD OF PATHOGENS AT A SITE
First Claim
1. A system for investigating the spread of pathogens at a site, said system comprising:
- a computing device;
a display in communication with said computing device;
said computing device being configured to receive flow data indicating an identity and location of objects at the site and movement of the objects within the site over time;
said computing device being configured to receive sampling data indicating a presence of pathogens on the objects over time and an identity of pathogens that are present;
said computing device being configured to evaluate said flow data and said sampling data;
wherein said computing device is configured to generate a graphical indicator based on evaluating said flow data and said sampling data, wherein said graphical indicator is informative of movement of the identified pathogens within the site over time; and
wherein said display is configured to visually present said graphical indicator.

Abstract
Systems and methods for investigating the spread of pathogens at a site are provided. Flow data indicating an identity and location of objects at the site and movement of the objects within the site over time is acquired. Sampling data indicating a presence of pathogens on the objects over time and an identity of pathogens that are present is acquired. A computing device receives and evaluates the flow data and the sampling data. Based on evaluating the flow data and the sampling data, the computing device generates a graphical indicator that is informative of movement of the identified pathogens within the site over time and is visually presented for display.

10. A computer-implemented method for investigating the spread of pathogens at a site using a computing device and a display in communication with the computing device, said method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving flow data with the computing device, the flow data indicating an identity and location of objects at the site and movement of the objects within the site over time; receiving sampling data with the computing device, the sampling data indicating a presence of pathogens on the objects over time and an identity of pathogens that are present; evaluating the flow data and the sampling data with the computing device; generating with the computing device a graphical indicator based on evaluating the flow data and the sampling data, wherein the graphical indicator is informative of movement of the identified pathogens within the site over time; and visually presenting the graphical indicator on the display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein computer-readable instructions for a processor, wherein said instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
-
receive flow data indicating an identity and location of objects at the site and movement of the objects within the site over time; receive sampling data indicating a presence of pathogens on the objects over time and an identity of pathogens that are present; evaluate the flow data and the sampling data; and generate a graphical indicator based on evaluating the flow data and the sampling data, wherein the graphical indicator is informative of movement of the identified pathogens within the site over time and is visually displayable.
