Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for verifying hygienic hand cleaning including a wash basin, having a contaminant sensor positioned in proximity to where a user's hands are positioned when a user is washing the hands in a wash basin, to measure a level of contamination of the user's hands; and a processor and associated memory having instructions that when executed by the processor implement: receiving a signal from the contaminant sensor indicative of a level of contamination of the user's hands; and responsively, determining the level of contamination and comparing the level of contamination with a contamination threshold to determine a hand washing status.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for verifying hygienic hand cleaning including a wash basin, having a contaminant sensor positioned in proximity to a drain of the wash basin, to measure a level of contamination of rinse fluid leaving the wash basin; and a processor and associated memory having instructions that when executed by the processor implement: receiving a signal from the contaminant sensor indicative of the level of contamination; and responsively, determining the level of contamination and comparing the level of contamination with a contamination threshold to determine a hand washing status.

Abstract: A hand washing system, comprising a reagent and water dispensing unit connected to a server. The dispensing unit comprises a personal identification unit, a reagent dispenser, a connection to a water source, one or more sensors for monitoring the handwashing act, and a controller comprising processor and memory for operating the dispensing unit and for storing handwashing data parameters. The server receives and analyzes handwashing data parameters. When an individual approaches the dispensing unit the identification unit identifies the individual, the one or more sensors confirm that the individual's hands are at location apt for receiving reagent from the reagent dispenser and water for at least a predetermined amount of time and the processor sends the server handwashing data parameters.
