Use of human input recognition to prevent contamination

A computing device, comprising:

• at least one output device, the least one output device including a display screen to provide graphical output for a user interface;
• at least one input device, the least one input device including an input sensor detect non-contact human input from a human user;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory, the at least one memory providing a plurality of instructions, wherein the instructions are operable with the at least one processor, to:
• output a prompt in the user interface via the display screen, wherein the prompt corresponds to a stage of a medical device handling workflow, wherein the medical device handling workflow includes a plurality of stages, and wherein the prompt is outputted to obtain the non-contact human input from the human user;
• capture the non-contact human input with the input sensor, wherein the non-contact human input is captured at the stage of the medical device handling workflow, wherein the non-contact human input is detected with the input sensor in response to the prompt;
• correlate the captured non-contact human input to a command in the user interface, wherein the command corresponds to an activity in the medical device handling workflow;
• and
• perform the command in the user interface, wherein the command causes the activity to be performed in the medical device handling workflow.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions which when executed by a computing system causes the computing system to perform operations that:

• output a prompt with a display of the computing system, wherein the prompt corresponds to a stage of a medical device handling workflow for a medical device, wherein the medical device handling workflow includes a plurality of stages, and wherein the prompt is outputted to a human user to obtain non-contact human input from the human user;
• capture the non-contact human input detected with an input sensor of the computing system, wherein the non-contact human input is captured at the stage of the medical device handling workflow, wherein the non-contact human input is detected with the input sensor in response to the prompt, and;
• correlate the captured non-contact human input to a command to perform in the computing system, wherein the command corresponds to an activity in the medical device handling workflow;
• and
• perform the command in the computing system, wherein the command causes the activity to be performed in the medical device handling workflow.

A method preventing contamination with use of non-contact human input, comprising electronic operations performed by hardware of a computing system, the electronic operations including:

• outputting a prompt, with the computing system, to a human user from the computing system, wherein the prompt corresponds to a stage of a medical device handling workflow for a medical device, wherein the medical device handling workflow includes a plurality of stages, and wherein the prompt is outputted to the human user to obtain non-contact human input from the human user;
• capturing the non-contact human input detected with an electronic sensor, wherein the non-contact human input is captured at the stage of the medical device handling workflow, wherein the non-contact human input is detected with the electronic sensor in response to the prompt;
• correlating the non-contact human input to a command to perform in the computing system, wherein the command corresponds to an activity in the medical device handling workflow;
• and
• performing the command in the computing system, wherein the command causes the activity to be performed in the medical device handling workflow.
