Method and system for hand washing compliance

A method for user hand washing compliance, comprising the steps of:

• (1) receiving a request from a user to enter a hand-washing-compliancearea, wherein the request is received by an entry-sensor;
• (2) optionally releasing water from a washer for pre-rinsing hands of the user;
• (3) releasing soap from a soap-dispenser for soaping the hands of the user;
• (4) releasing water from the washer to rinse the soaped hands of the user;
• and
• (5) optionally providing a means-to-dry-hands from a hand-dryer for drying the hands of the user;
• wherein the user initiates each step with a user-transmitter and/or with defined-hand-gestures before a gesture-recognition-camera;
• wherein upon the user initiating each step, the gesture-recognition-camera records each step;
• and
• wherein at least one server receives said recordings and validates each step.

A method for user hand washing compliance, comprising the steps of:

• receiving at an entry-sensor, a first-wireless-transmission from a user-transmitter, the user-transmitter being integral to a wrist-band or an identification-card, the user-transmitter being maintained with a user, enters a hand-washing-compliance-area;
• receiving, from the entry-sensor, a second-wireless-transmission by a temporary-controller or by at least one server, the second-wireless-transmission including an indicator that a specific user has entered the hand-washing-compliance-area;
• receiving a start-hand-washing-command from the user by the temporary controller or by the at least one server;
• receiving, by the temporary controller or by the at least one server, a first-recording by a camera of the user wetting hands under water running from the washer during the defined-first-duration;
• receiving, by the temporary controller or by the at least one server a second-recording by the camera of the user receiving soap from the soap-dispenser;
• receiving, by the temporary controller or by the at least one server, a third-recording by the camera of the user washing and
• receiving, by the temporary controller or by the at least one server, transmission of a hand-washing-cycle-completion-signal resulting in a completion-feedback-signal being sent back to the user;
• and
• logging, by the temporary controller or by the at least one server, at least one log entry pertaining to a given user's interactions with the method.
