Hygiene is necessary to maintain human health. Hygiene keeps the body clean and free from germs, preventing the spread of diseases, which has been especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, we designed automatic alcohol hand sanitizers (AAHSs): one with an IR sensor and one with an ultrasonic sensor. The sanitizers will help prevent germs from spreading via the hands of people because no part of each device need be touched during its use. The AAHS with the ultrasonic sensor has various advantages over that with the IR sensor: it is 32% cheaper to produce, easier to configure and maintain, has a higher average score for user satisfaction, is smaller and more portable, and can use rechargeable batteries. In addition, its low cost makes it more suitable for commercialization. It can also be installed both outdoors and indoors. In an outdoor test, it was demonstrated to operate flawlessly. This paper includes useful information on the components of the AAHSs with the two types of sensor and an evaluation of their performance using confusion matrices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
