Abstract:
One describes a system (1) for monitoring hand-cleaning practices in a hospital environment, the system (1) comprising a set of sensors (2, 3, 4, 5) configured as at least one from: at least one infrared sensor (2) establishing a heat detection zone (20), at least one from a contact sensor (3) and a movement sensor (4) associated to at least one article (10, 10′, 10″) of the hospital environment, at least one actuation sensor (5) of an aseptic substance dispenser (6), the set of sensors (2, 3, 4, 5) being configured to generate a plurality of cleaning signals (11, 11′), the cleaning signals (11, 11′) being associated to a hand-cleaning event, the system further comprising a wearable device (15) to be worn by a user of the system, the wearable device (15) being configured to generate a virtual environment (16) visible to the user, a plurality of indicators (26, 27, 28, 45) related to the cleaning signals (11, 11′) being displayed in the virtual environment (16).
