Development of a Touchless User Interface System for Sanitized Environments

Healthcare and laboratory settings require minimal physical contact with shared surfaces to prevent contamination and ensure safety. Existing interfaces often involve physical contact that may increase health risks, complicate hygiene protocols, or cause surface contamination through smudges and germs.

A mid-to-large size healthcare facility or laboratory aiming to minimize physical contact with shared surfaces to enhance hygiene and safety.

• Create a reliable, accurate touchless user interface utilizing camera-based gesture recognition.
• Eliminate the need for physical contact with shared surfaces, reducing contamination risk.
• Ensure intuitive and responsive user interaction, maintaining usability in medical environments.
• Integrate advanced gesture interpretation capabilities with minimal latency.
• Enable easy adaptation across various medical equipment and surfaces to promote widespread use.

• Real-time hand gesture detection and interpretation
• Accurate translation of gestures into control commands
• Customizable interface calibration for different devices and environments
• Responsive feedback mechanisms to confirm gesture recognition
• Compatibility with existing operating systems and hardware platforms

• Hardware camera modules or modules compatible with target devices
• Existing device control APIs or SDKs for seamless integration
• Security protocols for data privacy in medical environments

• High reliability with gesture recognition accuracy above 95%
• Low latency with response times under 100 milliseconds
• Secure data handling compliant with healthcare regulations
• Scalable architecture to support multiple devices simultaneously

Implementing this touchless user interface system is expected to significantly enhance hygiene and safety in medical environments by reducing physical contact. It aims to improve operational efficiency, provide a seamless user experience, and support health protocols, ultimately leading to safer patient and staff interactions and potentially reducing infection risks.
