METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND ENFORCING HAND HYGIENE AND SANITIZATION

摘要

A method for monitoring hand sanitization policy compliance including initializing a sanitization monitoring sensor (SMS) to a deactivated state, the SMS being configured to wearable by a user, activating the SMS by an SMS activator that is disposed in at least one predetermined location of a structure, wherein the SMS is activated upon a determination of at least one parameter, deactivating the SMS by an SMS deactivator configured to deactivate the SMS upon use of an associated sanitization dispenser by the user, monitoring SMS activation/deactivation activity by a network integrated SMS monitoring module, wherein when the SMS changes activation states, the network integrated SMS monitoring module receives a log of SMS activities, including credentials and time of activation/deactivation; and negotiating access credentials by the SMS with at least one access point wherein the access point restricts access to the SMS if the SMS is activated.

1. A method for monitoring hand sanitization policy compliance comprising:
initializing a sanitization monitoring sensor (SMS) to a deactivated state, the SMS being configured to be wearable by a user; activating the SMS by an SMS activator that is disposed in a predetermined location of a structure, wherein the SMS is activated upon a determination of at least one of a low hand sanitization condition or a contamination condition, a geographic location of the user, and a predetermined duration has elapsed since a last sanitization activity; deactivating the SMS by an SMS deactivator configured to deactivate the SMS upon use of an associated sanitization dispenser by the user; monitoring SMS activation/deactivation activity by a network integrated SMS monitoring module, wherein when the SMS changes activation states, the network integrated SMS monitoring module receives a log of SMS activities, including credentials and time of activation/deactivation; and negotiating access credentials by the SMS with at least one access point wherein the access point restricts access to the SMS if the SMS is activated.
