ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring a new way to teach proper hand hygiene to undergraduate students in health-related fields, like nursing and optometry. The researchers are developing a special training system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) to make learning about hand hygiene more effective. They want to see if this innovative tool can improve students' knowledge and practice of hand hygiene compared to traditional methods like using a hand scanner and video training.
To participate in the study, students must be enrolled in specific programs, such as nursing or applied biology, and should not have severe skin conditions like eczema that could affect their hands. Participants will be randomly placed into one of two groups for training and will be assessed before and after the training to see how well they learned. This trial is currently recruiting volunteers, and feedback from participants will be collected to help evaluate the training's effectiveness.
