“…Three studies considered the AI training system was a cost‐effective method in monitoring and improving the quality and quantity of hand hygiene, but one study showed that it did not affect the compliance rates. According to those results, AI‐based training might improve the quality of hand hygiene but the effect on compliance remains unclear (Geilleit et al., 2018 , p. 1; Kwok et al., 2015 , p. 1; Lacey et al., 2019 ). Furthermore, one study validated a hand hygiene program that combined sensors with a video in AI gesture recognition, suggesting that this method is suitable for further research (Kutafina et al., 2016 ).…”

At present, technology is almost inseparable from our daily lives. Currently, according to the online statistics portal, Statista, 5.28 billion people (67.95%) own a mobile device globally (Turner, 2018).Most paperwork is in the electronic form, particularly in the nursing and medical fields. Without this electronic paperwork, work seems complicated. A quick search in electronic database search engines reveals that the number of studies on technology in the medical field has increased exponentially. The demand for research in technology over the past decades has become more necessary, making the world more connected (Korhonen et al., 2015).Technology in health care has been used to assist daily clinical practice and clinical processes, such as electronic health records and health information technology. Recording mass data allows hospitals to develop efficient clinical workflows and facilitate decisionmaking processes to improve patient safety (DeMellow & Kim, 2018; eHealth, 2012;Yanamadala et al., 2016).In the field of infectious diseases, due to the increasing number of emerging diseases, innovative approaches are essential. In particular, during the pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), some innovative technologies have gained attention. Using automatic monitoring and detection in disease outbreaks, such as mobile devices, cloud computing, the Internet of things (IoT) and geographic

“…Having video cameras for surveillance, instead of human observers can help avoid this concern. Automatic video monitoring has been used in auditing hand hygiene initiatives and providing real-time feedback to individual users [ 28 ]. Video surveillance can also reduce observer bias as reported by Sharma et al [ 29 ].…”

Background Sustainability of hand hygiene is challenging in low resource settings. Adding ownership and goal setting to the WHO-5 multimodal intervention may help sustain high compliance. Aim To increase and sustain compliance of nursing and medical staff with hand hygiene in a tertiary referral center with limited resources. Methods A quality improvement initiative was conducted over two years (2016–2018). After determining baseline compliance rates, the WHO-5 multimodal intervention was implemented with staff education and training, system change, hospital reminders, direct observation and feedback, and hospital safety climate. Additionally, the medical staff was responsible for continuous surveillance of compliance ( ownership ) until rates above 90% were achieved and sustained ( goal setting) . Results Of 2987 observations collected between August 2016 and April 2018, 1630 (54.5%) were before, and 1357 (45.5%) were after patient encounters. The average overall compliance with hand hygiene was sustained at 94% for nursing and medical staff. Two instances of drops below 90% were associated with incidence of nosocomial Rotavirus infections. There were no similar infections during intervention periods with compliance rates above the set goal. Analysis using p-charts revealed significant improvement in compliance rates from baseline (χ 2 (1) = 7.94, p = 0.005). Conclusion Adding ownership and goal setting to the WHO-5 multimodal intervention may help achieve, and sustain high rates of compliance with hand hygiene. Involving health care workers in quality improvement initiatives is feasible, durable, reliable, and cheap, especially in settings with limited financial resources.

“…As a result, participants are being guided to a proper hand wash by researchers guided by a several steps are being shared throughout the mobile application process. Furthermore, the minimum duration of hand wash activities estimated at around 20 seconds, for instance, the participants could sing a happy birthday song twice or verbally count the number from 1 until 20 gradually [25].…”

The global concern about a new pandemic associated with the insufficiency of vaccines has necessitated basic practices of handwashing to get prevention in Covid-19 disease in modern health issues. At this point, due to that, the researchers develop a simple mobile application engaging augmented reality to educate the urban and rural community on a notable effect of basic infection prevention practices peculiarly on hand wash guidance to prevent Covid-19infection. A quality of a hand wash could be attained by washing hands in conformity with health standard guidelines. In this study, we analyze a sample size of 83 participants (n=83), there were categorized by age, young adult (ages 15 to 35, n=28), middle-age (36 to 55, n=28) and older adults (older than 56 years, n=27) through three main formulated hypotheses namely as a step, movement, and duration and being analyzed by SPSS version 25by using Anova. The differences in demographics and gender are not being compared amongst the group. The final result underlying a statistical significance draws two significant factors for step and movement and there was no significant effect at the time factor of utilizing this mobile application. Hence, the final result could mitigate the Malaysian government sector peculiarly to the health department to alleviate the load of educating a community about a proper hand wash that would ease the process.
