Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting a potential for dewpoint respiratory inoculation (DRI). A method includes detecting a change in temperature over time, determining a slope of the change in temperature, comparing the slope of change in temperature with a slope threshold, and if the slope of change in temperature exceeds the slope threshold, then signaling a potential for dewpoint respiratory inoculation. Detection systems can include a personal device with temperature and humidity detectors, a processor for collecting data and identifying conditions that may provoke DRI, and providing a signal to the user.
