Problem Statement

null

Increasing cases of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs): Hospital-acquired infections are a significant problem that can lead to serious complications, longer hospital stays, and increased costs. Inadequate cleaning and disinfection of surfaces can contribute to the spread of HAIs.

null

Limited staff resources: Hospitals have limited staff resources that can be allocated to cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. Manual cleaning processes can be time-consuming and labour-intensive, which can make it difficult to keep up with the demand for cleaning in a busy hospital environment.

null

Inconsistent cleaning practices: Hospitals may have inconsistent cleaning practices that can lead to uneven cleaning of surfaces. Different cleaning staff may have different approaches to cleaning, which can lead to inconsistencies in the cleaning process.

null

Inadequate monitoring of cleaning activities: Hospitals may not have an adequate system to monitor cleaning activities. This limitation can make it difficult to track and evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning activities, which can lead to missed spots and an increased risk of HAIs.

null

High cost of infection control: Infection control is essential for preventing the spread of infections in hospitals, but it can be costly. Manual cleaning processes can be time-consuming and require significant labour, and the cost of disinfectants, cleaning equipment, and other supplies can add up, making infection control an expensive process.

Solution Overview

null

OptiSol has worked with the client in building an AI based surface hygiene monitoring solution to help hospitals control hospital acquired infections.

null

The solution utilises computer vision technology, which involves training a machine learning model to recognise different types of surfaces in a hospital setting, such as floors, walls, and medical equipment.

null

Cameras are placed strategically throughout the hospital to capture images of these surfaces in real-time.

null

The images are then analysed using the trained machine learning model to detect areas that require cleaning and disinfection.

null

The system generates alerts and notifications to cleaning staff to indicate which areas need attention, and the severity of the issue.
