  • Publication number: 20090178217
    Abstract: A device to encourage hand washing which provides visual feedback to a user who can control a video game or other visual feedback device while washing their hands. The device features at least one controller configured to operate when wet or continually doused with water while the user is washing their hands. The user may view a video or other means for visual interaction while washing their hands, and control a portion of the display with the controller. A video game or the like may thus be played by washing their hands thereby providing user encouragement to wash their hands. The controller may be employed with movement to provide a dermabrasive action against the palm of the user and with a surrounding skirt which is adapted to clean the back side of their hand while operating the controller.
