Hand Hygiene
Checks that handwashing happens and lasts the minimum time
Monitoring of hand hygiene adherence at sinks and washbasins in hospitals, kitchens and factories. The system identifies the start and end of each handwash, measures rubbing duration and generates compliance reports by department — supporting patient safety goals and GMP.
How it works
- 1The sink zone is outlined on the camera image.
- 2The pose model locates the wrists; hands together and moving within the zone = rubbing.
- 3Duration is compared with the configured minimum (WHO: 40–60 s with soap and water).
- 4Insufficient handwashes trigger an alert and feed the supervision reports.
Benefits
- Continuous measurement of adherence (currently done by sample observation).
- Fewer healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
- Reports by department and shift for targeted training.
References from infection control literature; detection of the complete technique (WHO's 6 steps) can be added with a dedicated hand model.
