“…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). cost-effective approach to reduce the infection rate and generate new strategies of disease control (de Bruin et al, 2016;Li et al, 2019;Nekkab et al, 2017;Parreco et al, 2018).…”

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

“…Though generally seen as a potential solution to lack of educational materials, instructors and academic institutes in developing and fragile countries [118,119], MOOCs do not necessarily foster the collaboration, adaptation and experiential needs of effective entrepreneurial learning. On the other hand, several experiential and collaborative learning technologies such as augmented reality [120,121] and wearable technologies [122] might be difficult to implement in low-resources environments due to high cost and hardware maintenance needs.…”

Entrepreneurship has the potential to reduce poverty, stimulate economic growth and boost innovation, in addition to enhancing social and environmental sustainability. In accordance with the human capital theory and previous empirical studies, it is assumed that entrepreneurship education and training (EET) directly correlates with positive entrepreneurial outcomes and therefore sustainable development. Although several scholars have attempted to review and analyze EET literature over the past decade, none of these reviews directly links EET with sustainable development or focuses on the role and status of EET (research) in less-stable areas of the world. This systematic review thus attempts to analyze recent literature to identify the extent to which EET research addresses Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The review identifies several gaps in research and practice that potentially hinder EET from adequately advancing sustainable development, including a dearth of research on fragile states and demographic diversity, limited EET access to non-university students and a general lack of focus on educational technology, progressive education approaches, and innovation in fragile countries compared to stable ones. The review also identifies challenges pertaining to EET resource constraints in fragile contexts. The paper concludes by offering insights on how educational technology could mitigate EET challenges in fragile environments to ultimately ease some barriers towards SDG advancement and provides recommendations for future research directions.

“…However, participants were required to wear the wristbands during handwashing, while the WHO handwashing guidelines recommend removing rings, wristwatches, and bracelets before handwashing; therefore, these wristbands could potentially house infectious pathogens, impeding hand hygiene. Other research assessing the use of hand gestures during handwashing have used armbands placed on forearms and reported recognition rates of 98% and 97%, respectively [ 26 , 27 ]. Armbands increase the mobility of monitoring devices in comparison to stationary devices such as fixed monitoring cameras next to sinks, which have additional privacy concerns due to the collection of identifiable images of people.…”

Background Hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to remove germs, prevent the spread of infectious pathogens, and avoid getting sick. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, health authorities have been advocating good hand hygiene practices. Objective The primary aim of this study is to field test a prototype smart handwashing station deployed in a school setting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We deployed a smart handwashing station and examined key technological considerations including connectivity, security, and data management systems, as well as the health and safety of users. Results The smart handwashing station was deployed for 10 days in a school setting in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The smart handwashing station’s electrical components remained operational during field testing and underwent robust cleaning protocols each day. The handwashing station was used 1138 times during the field test and there was no COVID-19 transmission at the school during the testing. Conclusions This study demonstrates that a personalized feedback approach using technology can successfully be implemented at a school and can provide a platform to improve hand hygiene among school-aged children.
