Abstract
A system for monitoring hygiene compliance includes multiple location tags, each configured to broadcast a unique identification number, and at least one event tag including a unique event identification tag and configured to detect an occurrence of a compliance event. The system further includes a mobile device being carried by a person that is configured to: receive the broadcast unique identification numbers from the location tags; determine a location based upon the received identification numbers; analyze the determined location against a location index to determine a compliance requirement; determine whether the person should complete a compliance event; if the person has completed a compliance event, receive the broadcast unique event identification tag and record the occurrence of the compliance event; if the person has not completed a compliance event, record a missed compliance event; and determine compliance information based upon the recorded compliance events and the recorded missed compliance events.
