SMART SANITISATION: DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A SMART HAND SANITISER SYSTEM FOR USE IN THE OFFICE ENVIRONMENT

SA Vortex Ltd （Savortex）是一家专门从事洗手间智能手卫生技术的英国中小企业，该公司正与利兹大学和谢菲尔德大学合作，将其专业知识应用于智能手卫生技术，以应对新冠肺炎的威胁，使建筑物更安全。该项目将开发和部署一种创新的智能物联网洗手器设备，该设备连接到建筑物的智能操作系统，提供一系列功能。这种新系统将通过提供非触摸技术、通过内置视频屏幕提高可视性/消息传递能力和创新的监控系统，提高工作场所的手卫生标准。它将能够通过感应用户的工作身份证来检测何时被谁使用，并在极端情况下拒绝每个工人进入大楼，除非他们的手已经消毒。在研发阶段，Savortex将生产和测试功能齐全的物联网洗手液，配备视频显示、个性化应用程序和办公室监控系统，并提供楼宇管理物联网门户网站，显示楼宇网络洗手液数据。没有其他洗手系统部署这样的物联网功能。英国政府建议，HH是应对Covid-19传播的关键措施。使用消毒剂是一项关键的预防性干预措施。大部分关于监测消毒剂使用的研发都集中在临床环境上（见Galleryzk & Handiyan， 2020），该项目将填补知识和影响方面的紧迫空白，并提供改善办公室工作人员健康和心理健康的解决方案。通过在至少4个研究机构测试200个单位，包括通过英国政府RTO Active Building Centre Ltd参与的司法部，该项目的研究部分旨在了解：a)应将消毒剂放置在何处以获得最佳使用效果，并加强消毒协议；b)监控和访问控制策略的最佳实践，以增加健康和员工福利；C)动态图形/信息策略如何影响消毒剂的使用。利兹大学（university of Leeds）和谢菲尔德大学（Sheffield）将与建筑员工和管理人员合作，从个人和企业层面研究他们对使用该技术的接受程度。此外，Savortex还将创建一个建筑管理物联网门户网站，供建筑管理人员使用，对他们在提供最高水平的手部卫生方面的成功程度进行排名。

SA Vortex Ltd (Savortex), a UK SME specialising in smart hand hygiene technology used in the washroom, is working with the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield to apply its expertise to smart hand sanitisation given the threat from Covid-19 to make buildings safer. This project will develop and deploy an innovative smart IoT hand sanitiser device that connects into the buildings smart operating system to provide a range of functions. This new system will improve the standards of hand hygiene (HH) in workplaces by offering non-touch technology, increased visibility/messaging capabilities via a built-in video screen and an innovative monitoring system. It will be able to detect when it is used and by whom by sensing users work identity cards, and in extremis deny building entry to each worker unless their hands have been sanitised. The R&D phase will allow Savortex to produce and test fully-functioning IoT hand sanitiser units with a video display, personalised app and monitoring system for offices, and provide a building manager IoT portal showing building network sanitiser data. No other hand sanitisation system deploys such IoT capabilities.The UK Government advises that HH is a key measure against the spread of Covid-19\. The use of sanitisers is a critical preventative intervention. The bulk of R&D on monitoring of sanitiser usage has focused on the clinical setting (see Galleryzk & Handiyan, 2020) and this project will fill an urgent gap in terms of knowledge and impact, as well as providing a solution that will improve office workers health and mental wellbeing.By testing 200 units across at least 4 research settings, including the Department of Justice through the involvement of the Active Building Centre Ltd, a UK Govt RTO, the research component of the project aimsto understand:a) where sanitisers should be placed for optimal usage and to enhance sanitisation protocols;b) best practice for monitoring and access control strategies to increase HH and employee wellbeing;c) how motion graphics/message strategies can influence sanitiser use.The Universities of Leeds and Sheffield will engage with buildings employees and managers to research their receptiveness to utilising the technology from both a personal and a corporate level. Savortex will additionally create a building manager IoT portal that can be used by buildings managers to rank their success in delivering the highest levels of hand sanitisation achievable.
