As it is surprising to hear that a chances of a person
sickness are more when he or she is in a hospital. In HIAs when admitted to a sanatorium and almost
100,000 of people die annually. There is a one way to reduce such infection by
examining health care workers to clean their hands after some interval of time
and systematically. All this can be done by an intellectual bangles device that
should be wear on their wrist.
united state, one person
out of 20 people is infected with
There is so diversity in that technology of addressing the
hand hygiene problem. One of old method was the human observers that are
situated at hand washing areas for observation of properly being washed. It is
impossible to situate observers in all kinds of such places as some people swab
their hand more properly when they are being watched.
The possible solution for this is a device named IntelligentM.
An IntelligentM bracelet can be wear by any person in a sickbay
such as it can be used by nurses, doctors, workers, technicians and all other
members that are intact with patients. The device possesses accelerometer
connected with a microprocessor. The function of accelerometer is to detect
hands movement and also application of hand sanitizer during washing.
IntelligentM wristlet consists of RFID tags located on it
where washing or sanitization is required. If a person did not cleanse his or
her hand for long interval or proper specified time then the buzzer beeps three
times or once a time if a person washed hand properly. In addition to this it
tells the record of a person washing procedure. If a person did not sluice hand
appropriately then an administrator can check every person records for inspecting
their hygiene where he or she had done infringement. It also provides time and
location where lapses have been done.
According to MIT report that technology has been used in a
hospital of Sarsota, Florida since last December and two more clients from the
same state has adopted that device.
