As one of the countermeasures against infection at medical institutions, thorough hand hygiene is extremely important. In Japan, these controls are not sufficient. In order to do this management, it is necessary to track the hand washing situation. Therefore, we decided to monitor the condition of hand washing by utilizing IoT. Since there are environments where we can use IoT in our hospital, we decided to follow up using these environments. As a result, it is possible to collect data continuously for 24 hours, 365 days, and evaluate infection risk based on data. In addition, our hospital can also obtain location information on smartphone, so we can also track work. We are considering support for medical staff by utilizing smart devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
