Data-based general health certification for a product life cycle

A computer-implemented method of providing a health certificate for a product, the method comprising:

• integrating, by a host application at a computing device associated with a first user, a plug-in, the plug-in capable of providing instructions to the computing device, the instructions including:
• acquiring, at the computing device associated with the first user, data from a first set of sensors, the first set of sensors being operable to monitor an environment around the product and located at a first location of a life cycle of the product, the data being related to health risks;
• analyzing the data from the first set of sensors;
• identifying health risks, based on the analysis of the data from the first set of sensors;
• and
• establishing the health certificate for the first location, based on the identified health risks;
• displaying, by the plug-in on a display of the computing device, the health certificate;
• and
• appending a recommendation report to the plug-in, based on the health certificate, the recommendation report being related to limiting the spread of the health risks.

A health certification system comprising:

• a plurality of sensors operable to monitor an environment around a product, acquire pathogen related data from the environment around the product, and transmit the pathogen related data to a server, wherein the plurality of sensors is located at locations associated with a plurality of stages;
• the server communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors, the server comprising:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive the pathogen related data from the plurality of sensors;
• determine, based on the pathogen related data from the sensors, a probability that pathogen particles contacted the product;
• associate, based on the probability that pathogen particles contacted the product, a pathogen certificate with the stage;
• and
• provide recommendations based on the pathogen certificate, the recommendations being related to limiting the spread of pathogen and
• a web-based application operable to be executed on a user device and display the pathogen certificate and recommendations on a page of the application.

A computer-implemented method for determining whether a product was exposed to pathogen particles during a packaging stage, the method comprising:

• acquiring pathogen related data from sensors, wherein the sensors are operable to monitor each layer of packaging among a plurality of packaging layers that are applied to the product;
• determining, based on the pathogen related data from the sensors, the probability that pathogen particles contacted a packaging layer among the plurality of packaging layers;
• in response to determining that the probability that pathogen particles did contact the packaging layer is above a pre-determined threshold, associating an unsafe pathogen certificate with the product, the unsafe pathogen certificate being an indicator that the product should not contact another object or person;
• and
• appending a recommendation report to a web-based application, based on the unsafe pathogen certificate, the recommendation report being related to limiting the spread of pathogen.
