Device-based hygiene reminder, alarm, and reporting system
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions; and
a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising;
providing, prior to generating a first alert, a prompt to scan a first tag;
generating, after the first tag is scanned with a reader, the first alert indicating that a hygiene-related action needs to be performed prior to entering an area;
disabling the first alert if a second tag in proximity to a first device associated with performing the hygiene-related action is scanned by the reader;
providing, if the second tag is scanned by the reader, a first signal indicating that the area may be entered; and
preventing access to the area if the second tag in proximity to the first device is not scanned by the reader.

Abstract
A system for providing device-based hygiene reminders, alarms, and reporting is disclosed. In particular, the system may utilize a mobile device capable of wirelessly communicating with a peripheral wearable reader. Prior to a user entering an area, the system may include prompting the user to scan a first tag using the wearable reader. A signal may be sent to the mobile device that alerts the user to perform a hygiene-related action prior to entering the area. At the time of performing the hygiene-related action, the system may require the reader to scan a second tag in proximity to a device associated with the hygiene-related action to disable the alert. After the scanning the second tag, the user may be allowed to enter the area. Information related to the performance of the hygiene-related action may be tracked and utilized to generate reports for assessing compliance with hygiene protocols.

13. A method, comprising:
-
providing, prior to causing a first alert, a prompt to scan a first tag; causing, after the first tag is scanned with a reader, the first alert to be outputted on a user device of a user, wherein the first alert indicates that a hygiene-related action needs to be performed prior to entering an area; removing, by utilizing instructions from a memory that are executed by a processor, the first alert if a second tag associated with a first device associated with performing the hygiene-related action is scanned by the reader; providing, if the second tag is scanned by the reader, a first signal indicating that the area may be entered; and preventing access to the area if the second tag in proximity to the first device is not scanned by the reader. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable device comprising instructions, which, when loaded and executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
providing, prior to generating a first alert, a prompt to scan a first tag; causing, after the first tag is scanned with a reader, the first alert to be outputted on a user device of a user, wherein the first alert indicates that an activity needs to be performed prior to entering an area; removing the first alert if a second tag associated with a first device associated with performing the activity is scanned by the reader; providing, if the second tag is scanned by the reader, a first signal indicating that the area may be entered; and preventing access to the area if the second tag in proximity to the first device is not scanned by the reader.
