System and method for detecting hand hygiene compliance

A mobile wearable electronic device comprising:

• at least one mechanical structure configured for attachment onto at least a part of a body of a person;
• communication functionality configured to communicate with a stationary controller, the stationary controller configured to be associated with a dispenser configured to dispense hand cleaning agent;
• one or more motion sensors configured to generate sensor data indicative of hand movement of the person;
• and
• a controller in the mechanical structure and in communication with the communication functionality and the one or more sensors, the controller configured to:
• responsive to communication with the stationary controller, store sensor data generated by the one or more motion sensors in order to determine compliance or non-compliance of the hand movement of the person with regard to a hand hygiene event.

A proximity sensing and output generating device comprising:

• a fastener configured to fasten the proximity sensing and output generating device to a movable portion of a premises;
• a motion sensor configured to generate motion sensor data, the motion sensor configured to be activated based on sensor input from another sensor;
• an output device configured to generate an output;
• and
• a controller in communication with the motion sensor and the output device, the controller configured to:
• determine, based on the motion sensor data, a direction of movement of the movable portion of the premises, the direction of movement of the movable portion indicative of an event;
• determine, based on the direction of movement, an output message, the output message related to the event;
• and
• responsive to determining the output message, output, via the output device, the output message.

A mobile wearable electronic device comprising:

• at least one mechanical structure configured for attachment onto at least a part of a body of a person;
• communication functionality configured to communicate with a hand hygiene external electronic device;
• one or more motion sensors configured to generate sensor data indicative of hand movement of the person;
• a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag configured to communicate with an external RFID reader;
• and
• a controller in communication with the communication functionality and the one or more sensors, the controller configured to:
• store the sensor data generated by the one or more motion sensors in order to determine compliance or non-compliance of the hand movement of the person with regard to a hand hygiene event.
