Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system and method for using a hand hygiene compliance (HHC) system to monitor compliance with hand hygiene protocols. More specifically, preferred embodiments of the HHC system include an electronic sensor configured to monitor use of a hand hygiene dispenser. The sensor preferably attaches to a lever on the hand hygiene dispenser and includes motion sensing devices such as, without limitation, gyroscopes and accelerometers. In preferred embodiments, motion sensing devise on the sensor detect motion of the lever when a person applies a force to the lever in order to cause the hand hygiene dispenser to dispense a hand hygiene product. Further, upon receiving data indicating motion of the lever, the hand hygiene compliance system correlates movement of the lever with an amount of hand hygiene product dispensed onto the person's hands.
