Outline: lab-hygiene-sentinel Feasibility Analysis
Idea: Real-time enforcement of hand-washing protocol between instrument pickups in a clinical lab, using RFID + CV detection, with video evidence on violation.
- Detection: RFID tags on instruments + camera CV, both as redundant layers; strategic camera placement is available
- Hand-wash detection: soap dispenser or sink flow sensor (primary) + CV at wash station
- Alert consumer: supervisor via phone app (assumed); in-lab real-time alarm on violation
- Timing rule: wash within 30 seconds of putting down instrument A before picking up instrument B (assumed)
- Lab scale: ~5 concurrent technicians (assumed); person attribution required
- Protocol scope: all instruments in the lab, no exceptions
- Out of scope: instrument sterilization state
- Optional in-scope: individual compliance history; shift-end compliance reports
- Compliance context: clinical lab — ISO 15189 / GLP audit trail requirements may apply (assumed)
- No known existing infrastructure to integrate with (unknown/TBD)
