Abstract: Objective: To develop an intelligent management platform for hand hygiene. Methods: An intelligent management platform was developed based on the integrate artificial intelligence vision analysis technology and accurate positioning technology. To develop the platform, a data set for training the model of objective detection was built, a logic for touch detection was set up, and the internet of things was also integrated. The intelligent management platform can monitor and remind the hand hygiene of health professionals. The effects of the intelligent platform were observed through compliance with the hand hygiene through big data and direct observation. Besides, the relevant indicators of nosocomial infection were also used for the effects evaluation. Results: The compliance rate of hand hygiene monitored by the platform was consistent with that of direct observation (P<0.05). After the launch of the platform, the compliance rate of hand hygiene was increased, the detection rate of multi-drug resistant bacteria was decreased, and the consumption of hand disinfectant was increased (P<0.05). Conclusion: The intelligent management platform for hand hygiene based on artificial intelligence and internet of things can comprehensively and accurately record the performance of hand hygiene of health professionals, improve the compliance rate of hand hygiene, and decrease the nosocomial infection. The intelligent platform can make hand hygiene management more refined, intelligent and provide data support to clinical decisions for hospital administrators.
