在疫情期间，口罩及面罩等可穿戴设备已被广泛采用，该等解决方案确实可减少感染，但无法消除人员可能接触的表面及物体上的传染源。因此，定期消毒手和经常接触的表面是预防从普通感冒和流感到SARS和COVID-19等传染病传播的关键因素。这种频繁消毒的活动需要高度的纪律性，并导致频繁洗手或使用口袋消毒剂所涉及的认知和身体努力增加。我们提出了一个开源的，可穿戴的消毒剂，提供及时，自动分配酒精到佩戴者的手或附近的物体使用传感器和可编程的线索。我们系统地探索设计空间，旨在创造一种设备，不仅与用户的身体和行为无缝集成，而且还释放了他们的身体和心理能力，用于其他任务。
During the pandemic, wearables such as face masks and face shields have become broadly adopted, these solutions do reduce infection but do not eliminate infectious agents from surfaces and objects the person may touch. Therefore, regular disinfection of hands and frequently touched surfaces is a critical factor in preventing the spread of infectious diseases ranging from the common cold and flu to SARS and COVID-19. This activity of frequent disinfection requires a high degree of discipline and leads to increased cognitive and physical effort involved in frequent washing of hands or use of a pocket sanitizer. We present an open-source, wearable sanitizer that provides just-in-time, automatic dispensing of alcohol to the wearer’s hand or nearby objects using sensors and programmable cues. We systematically explore the design space aiming to create a device that not only seamlessly integrates with the user’s body and behavior but also frees their physical and mental faculties for other tasks.
