1. A system for monitoring hand sanitizing opportunities in a hospital ward, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors arranged inside the hospital ward, capable of detecting at least one hand sanitizing action according to at least one hand sanitizing opportunity, the plurality of sensors comprising;
a dosing device for dosing aseptic substance having at least one actuation sensor for generating data of use and establishing a hand sanitizing action when the dosing device is actuated;
at least one infrared sensor capable of detecting at least one heat emitting zone generated by at least one of a human body and electrical equipment in the hospital ward, the infrared sensor being configured to receive the data of use from the dosing device and to compare the data of use with the detected heat emitting zone; and
at least one movement sensor configured to detect handling of at least one invasive device, the invasive device being configured to receive the data of use from the dosing device and to compare the data of use with the handling of the invasive device; and
at least one indication device for indicating a signal relating to the hand sanitizing action and the at least one hand sanitizing opportunity, the system being further configured to compare the handling of the invasive device with the detected heat emitting zone, and wherein the at least one hand sanitizing opportunity is established according to the detected heat emitting zone, the handling of the invasive device, and the comparison between the handling of the invasive device with the detected heat emitting zone.
