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…
Early detection of patients vulnerable to infections acquired in the hospital environment is a challenge in current health systems given the impact that such infections have on patient mortality and healthcare costs. This work is focused on…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a risk for patients and a burden for the healthcare system. However, AMR assays typically take several days. This study develops predictive models for AMR based on easily available clinical and…
People's personal hygiene habits speak volumes about the condition of taking care of their bodies and health in daily lifestyle. Maintaining good hygiene practices not only reduces the chances of contracting a disease but could also reduce…
Clinicians may rely on medical coding systems such as International Classification of Diseases (ICD) to identify patients with diseases from Electronic Health Records (EHRs). However, due to the lack of detail and specificity as well as a…
Robots are expected to manipulate objects in a safe and dexterous way. For example, washing dishes is a dexterous operation that involves scrubbing the dishes with a sponge and rinsing them with water. It is necessary to learn it safely…
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…
The COVID19 pandemic has helped amplify the importance of Cyber Hygiene. As the reliance on the Internet and IT services increased during the pandemic. This in turn has introduced a new wave of criminal activities such as cybercrimes. With…
Opening sterile medical packaging is routine for healthcare workers but remains challenging for robots. Learning from demonstration enables robots to acquire manipulation skills directly from humans, and handheld gripper tools such as the…
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.…
Despite various playful and educational tools have been developed to support children's learning abilities, limited work focuses on tangible toys designed to improve and maintain children's hygiene perception, habits and awareness, as well…
Hepatitis type B is one of the most common infectious disease worldwide that can pose severe threats to human health up to the point that may contribute to severe liver damage or cancer. Over the past two decades a large number of dynamic…
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is critical in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), where diagnostic uncertainty often drives broad-spectrum antibiotic use, increasing antimicrobial resistance and potential long-term harms. Machine…
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…
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…
We introduce BeaMsteerX (BMX), a novel mmWave hand hygiene gesture recognition technique that improves accuracy in longer ranges (1.5m). BMX steers a mmWave beam towards multiple directions around the subject, generating multiple views of…
Blood cultures are often over ordered without clear justification, straining healthcare resources and contributing to inappropriate antibiotic use pressures worsened by the global shortage. In study of 135483 emergency department (ED) blood…
Stable and reliable grasp is critical to robotic manipulations especially for fragile and glazed objects, where the grasp force requires precise control as too large force possibly damages the objects while small force leads to slip and…
Hospital acquired infections are a serious threat to the health and well-being of patients and medical staff within clinical units. Many of these infections arise as a consequence of medical personnel that come into contact with…
Contacts between patients, patients and health care workers (HCWs) and among HCWs represent one of the important routes of transmission of hospital-acquired infections (HAI). A detailed description and quantification of contacts in…
