The purpose of this blog is to track the developments of the hand hygiene project in the GROK lab. We’ll post research notes and designs here as we go along.
Currently the hand hygiene project consists of several subtasks:
1. The instrumentation of automatic hand sanitizer dispensers to emit a radio transmission when they are used, using software developed for motes (small microprocessor/radios) written by Ted Herman of the CompEPI group.
2. Design and implement devices that trigger a radio transmission when a manual dispenser is used.
3. Redesign the mote badges worn by the health care practitioners using the system.
4. Use human factors techniques to improve the design of the components.
5. Perform human factors experiments to improve hand sanitation in hospitals.
