HAND HYGIENE USE AND TRACKING IN THE CLINICAL SETTING VIA WEARABLE COMPUTERS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring hand hygiene events, the method comprising:
- at an electronic device having at least one processor and memory;
receiving data associated with the initiation of a hand hygiene event;
receiving data associated with the completion of the hand hygiene event;
receiving image data associated with the hand hygiene event;
determining a time associated with the initiation and completion of the hand hygiene event; and
determining compliance of the hand hygiene event.

Abstract
Processes and systems for monitoring hand hygiene events (e.g., hand washing or sanitizing) are provided. In one example, a process includes receiving data associated with the initiation and completion of a hand hygiene event. The data may include image data captured by a camera included with a wearable computer device (e.g., a head mounted device or augmented reality glasses). The process may further determine a location and/or time associated with the initiation and completion of the hand hygiene event and monitor compliance and technique. A process may further include detecting a location (e.g., via a proximity beacon) of a wearable computer device and triggering a notification to initiate a hand hygiene event. Additionally, data from hand hygiene events, including compliance data, can be used to motivate or incentivize individuals to increase their compliance with hand hygiene practices (e.g., through various gamification strategies).
