ABSTRACT:
Studies show that the poor hand hygiene practices in public
health institutions such as hospitals, clinics, schools and nursing homes is
the most likely cause of the spread of various bacterial diseases. Proper hand
hygiene is the single biggest defense against spread of diseases and therefore
the caregivers' compliance with hand hygiene is one of the most effective tools
in preventing Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) in such nstitutions. In
this paper, we present a system prototype of interconnected hand-hygiene
stations that use a combination Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and
Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies for monitoring the hand hygiene
compliance rate. The cloud-connected hand hygiene stations can cooperate to
detect hand hygiene events in real-time, and help measuring the hand hygiene
compliance at large-scale health-care facilities where it is deployed. The
presented work is an initial phase of an on-going research study on hand
hygiene compliance. Further phases of the system are currently being developed.
The proposed system is desired to be scalable, and easy to install so that it
can overcome most of the problems of existing related systems.
