HAND HYGIENE DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

Hand hygiene apparatuses and methods for monitoring hand hygiene and for dispensing hand soap or hand sanitizers. An illustrative hand hygiene apparatus includes a computer, a database stored on the computer, a biometric sensor operatively coupled to the computer, a hand hygiene dispenser operatively coupled to the computer, and a hand soap or hand sanitizer disposed adjacent to the hand hygiene dispenser. The database might include a collection of partial biometric data for a group of persons. An illustrative method may include collecting a set of partial biometric data, providing a biometric sensing apparatus and a hand hygiene dispenser coupled to the biometric sensing apparatus, sensing biometric data from a first individual from the group of persons with the biometric sensing apparatus, identifying the first individual by comparing the sensed biometric data with the set of partial biometric data, and dispensing a hand soap or hand sanitizer from the hand hygiene dispenser onto the hands of the first individual.
