This report focuses on the infectious waste discharged from small medical institutions and aims to build a system that utilizes the IoT to promote the appropriate treatment of medical waste by streamlining the small-lot collection operations. Specifically, a traceability system based on an activity record management system will be introduced, and a vehicle dispatching system using AI will be designed for future implementation. As the preliminary stage of system construction for the appropriate treatment of hazardous waste at medical institutions, we grasp of the actual situation of infectious waste discharge, collection, and transportation. This was done by conducting local interviews and questionnaire surveys in three collection and transportation companies and 260 small medical institutions located in the “I” city. In addition, we conducted a function verification test of the activity record system as a preparatory work for building a system using IoT.
