Image and Video Capturing for Proper Hand Sanitation Surveillance in Hospitals Using Euphony—A Raspberry Pi and Arduino-Based Device

Abstract

Hand sanitation acquiescence is immensely essential in hospitals, clinics and in the sphere of food industry. Caregiver’s docility with hand sanitation in the most adequate mechanism is mandate for restraining healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in hospitals and clinics. Washing hands legitimately is the foundation of hand sanitation. Notwithstanding, the hand wash consistence rate by the labourers (parental figures, servers, gourmet experts, food processors, etc.) is not up to the mark. Observing hand wash consistence alongside an updated framework expands the consistence rate essentially. Quality of hand sanitation is also important, which can be accomplished by washing hands as per standard rules and guidelines. In this paper, we present Euphony, a hand sanitation monitoring and indication system, that screens hand sanitation occasions and their quality, gives continuous input, helps the individual to remember intrigue when he/she is required to sanitize hands, and stores related information on a server for further use. Euphony is vigorous, versatile and simple to introduce, and it conquers a large portion of the issues of existing related frameworks.
