Abstract:
A system and method for detecting personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance is disclosed. Personal protective equipment, such as gloves, gowns, masks, protective eyewear, may be used to limit transmission of illness either from the patient to the care giver or vice-versa. Compliance with PPE is important in various contexts, including hospital settings, home settings, work settings, and school settings. For example, a healthcare provider may wear a wristband, which may interact with a stationary controller that is associated with an entrance and/or an exit to an area for the patient (such as the stationary controller integrated with or proximate to a hand cleaning agent dispenser) proximate to the entrance and/or exit. The interaction may be used to determine whether the healthcare provider has complied with PPE protocols. Further, the system may be used to train healthcare providers or others in PPE hygiene. In addition, the wristband may be used to check for compliance of a plurality of protocols, such as PPE protocols and hand hygiene (HH) protocols. In this way, the system may be used for safely interacting with patients in order to reduce cross-contamination.

Claim (Index 20):
The mobile wearable electronic device of  claim 17 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine, based on the stored sensor data, one or both of compliance or non-compliance with regard to the PPE event.
