Smart sensors can monitor clinical hygiene, reducing infection risk
  • Li’s team partnered with Stanford Medicine to deploy AI‑enabled sensors that detect when clinicians enter a room without proper hand washing.
  • The system alerts staff in real time, creating a feedback loop that encourages compliance.
  • Such ambient intelligence acts as extra “eyes” in the environment, extending human perception.
  • Early trials suggest measurable reductions in contamination events.
  • This application demonstrates how spatial intelligence can improve safety without replacing human workers.
