In this work, an extensive review of literature in the field of gesture recognition carried out along with the implementation of a simple classification system for hand hygiene stages based on deep learning solutions. A subset of robust…
The process of hand washing involves complex hand movements. There are six principal sequential steps for washing hands as per the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines. In this work, a detailed description of an aluminium rig…
Hand hygiene is a standard six-step hand-washing action proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, there is no good way to supervise medical staff to do hand hygiene, which brings the potential risk of disease spread.…
This paper presents a comparison of various deep learning models such as Exception, Resnet-50, and Inception V3 for the classification and prediction of hand hygiene gestures, which were recorded in accordance with the World Health…
The process of hand washing, according to the WHO, is divided into stages with clearly defined two handed dynamic gestures. In this paper, videos of hand washing experts are segmented and analyzed with the goal of extracting their…
Hand hygiene is crucial for preventing viruses and infections. Due to the pervasive outbreak of COVID-19, wearing a mask and hand hygiene appear to be the most effective ways for the public to curb the spread of these viruses. The World…
There are six, well-structured hand gestures for washing hands as provided by World Health Organisation guidelines. In this paper, hand features such as contours of the hands, the centroid of the hands, and extreme hand points along the…
This paper contributes a new high-quality dataset for hand gesture recognition in hand hygiene systems, named "MFH". Generally, current datasets are not focused on: (i) fine-grained actions; and (ii) data mismatch between different…
Washing hands is one of the most important ways to prevent infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Unfortunately, medical staff does not always follow the World Health Organization (WHO) hand washing guidelines in their everyday work. To…
Hand hygiene is among the most effective daily practices for preventing infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, and skin infections. While professional guidelines emphasize proper handwashing to reduce the risk of viral infections,…
Our team are developing a new online test that analyses hand movement features associated with ageing that can be completed remotely from the research centre. To obtain hand movement features, participants will be asked to perform a variety…
Young children are at an increased risk of contracting contagious diseases such as COVID-19 due to improper hand hygiene. An autonomous social agent that observes children while handwashing and encourages good hand washing practices could…
Hand hygiene is one of the most significant factors in preventing hospital acquired infections (HAI) which often be transmitted by medical staffs in contact with patients in the operating room (OR). Hand hygiene monitoring could be…
In this work, deep learning models are applied to a segment of a robust hand-washing dataset that has been created with the help of 30 volunteers. This work demonstrates the classification of presence of one hand, two hands and no hand in…
Hand-hygiene compliance and contacts of health-care workers largely determine the potential paths of pathogen transmission in hospital wards. We explored how the combination of data collected by two automated infrastructures based on…
Nowadays, more effective control of hand hygiene (HH) by healthcare teams has become essential. HH control is crucial to prevent cross-contamination and healthcare-associated infections (HAI), according to Brazilian regulatory standards and…
In surgical training for medical students, proficiency development relies on expert-led skill assessment, which is costly, time-limited, difficult to scale, and its expertise remains confined to institutions with available specialists.…
Current guidelines from the World Health Organization indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which results in the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is transmitted through respiratory droplets or by contact. Contact transmission…
The ability of healthcare workers to learn proper hand hygiene has been an understudied area of research. Generally, hand hygiene skills are regarded as a key contributor to reduce critical infections and healthcare-associated infections.…
