Issue

Inability to prevent the spread of infection by asymptomatic individuals.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which is estimated to have caused over 14.9 million related deaths and economic losses exceeding 1,000 trillion yen, revealed a critical issue: relying on PCR tests only after symptoms appear and a positive result is confirmed misses the spread of infection by asymptomatic individuals.

Approach

Early infection prevention through spatial virus detection.

Believing that detecting viruses in aerosols within a space could help identify asymptomatic individuals, e-solutions advanced the concept of this social system by gathering expertise from specialists in infectious diseases, healthcare, and architecture. The company also promoted its social implementation through industry-academia-government collaboration.
