A sensor is a device that measures physical input from its surroundings and converts it into data that can be analysed by humans or machines.A sensor is a tool that generates an output signal in order to detect a physical phenomena.
In its broadest sense, a sensor is any device, module, machine, or subsystem that monitors its surroundings and transmits information to other electronics, typically a computer processor.
The Ghana Sensors Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Using Innovative Sensor Technology to Evaluate Handwashing.In Ghana, pneumonia and diarrheal infections are among the leading causes of death for kids.The intervention of handwashing with soap and water (HWWS) has been shown to lower this rate.
The sensors give accelerometer information on the angle and length of the water container’s tilt. This information can be used to calculate the frequency and duration of water use when it is connected with the volume of water utilised.
The average number of handwashing events that occurred during specific time periods will be determined using video footage.To identify a HWWS event, an image recognition system will examine hand movement within the camera frame over the soap dish.
In order to determine the number of HWWS events that took place, this will be utilised to confirm sensor data as well as daily soap and water measurements.The use and condition of the Tippy Tap stations are also being quietly observed and recorded by trained observers in their observation log.
This will include information on the standard of handwashing behaviours, the degree to which the HWWS stages were followed, whether soap was used, and the obstacles that prevented good handwashing at all schools.At the initial follow-up, focus groups with students from intervention schools will assess kids’ game participation and discover ways to enhance game implementation.
