Assessing Children’s First Impressions of “WallBo” - A Robotic Handwashing Buddy

Abstract: In this paper we present our preliminary results from the first trial conducted with "WallBo" a robotic buddy to improve handwashing for children in schools. The one-week trial was carried out in a Scottish school with 16 pupils, aged 6-7 in an ecologically valid setting.The 1:1 interaction with WallBo resulted in 86.25% handwashing compliance, a 33.25% improvement from the baseline handwashing technique pre-WallBo training, and an overall, ≈35% improvement on knowledge about hand hygiene. We also report some … Show more

“…Raising awareness and knowledge about handwashing through education and training in schools is the most widely used method for motivating and practising handwashing behaviour among school children [18]. This is usually done using posters, leaflets, games, and videos [9,10,13], see also: [5]. While such approaches have shown effective in raising awareness and in improving handwashing practice, they are less effective in persuading and motivating children; they are difficult to implement in school settings especially with primary school children; and often require supervision by adults (teachers or teaching assistants) [38].…”

“…While such approaches have shown effective in raising awareness and in improving handwashing practice, they are less effective in persuading and motivating children; they are difficult to implement in school settings especially with primary school children; and often require supervision by adults (teachers or teaching assistants) [38]. The HCIcommunity has taken a rising interest in exploring more technical, interactive and persuasive solutions to promote hand hygiene (among children) -each taking their own unique approach, for example: [4,6,13,30,32]. Mondol and colleagues, for instance, employ smartwatches to monitor and inform users about proper handwashing technique [32], whereas Deshmukh and colleagues explored the use of (low-cost) social robots to promote hand hygiene among elementary school children [12,13,46].…”
