Abstract

Policies to fight COVID-19 have largely targeted at indoor spaces. Abundant empirical evidence showed that COVID-19 spreads more easily through aerosols in closed rooms. We have been utilizing Design Science Research (DSR) to develop a smart space management solution that draws from space-related trace data to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in indoor environments. At the heart of our solution is a digital device that mines and visualizes these data to create awareness about the spreading risk of COVID-19 at a given point in time and encourage those physically present in the room to take relevant actions (e.g., opening a window). In this research-in-progress paper, we report on the first design cycle and deliver (1) design requirements, (2) an initial set of design principles, and (3) a prototypical implementation of a solution that brings to awareness when COVID-19 is likely to spread in indoor environments. Our research highlights the importance of examining space, which has received very little attention in the information systems field.
