Abstract
A system for determining a sanitization status of an environment includes a plurality of sensors integrated into a surface of the environment, wherein each sensor of the plurality of sensors senses the sanitization status of the surface around the respective sensor, provides data related to the sanitization status, and provides output regarding the sanitization status, a computing device that stores logic that, when executed by the computing device causes the computing device to perform at least: receive the data related to the sanitization status from each of the plurality of sensors; determine at least one unsanitized zone on the surface from the data; and communicate data related to the at least one unsanitized zone to the plurality of sensors such that the plurality of sensors may provide the output regarding the at least one unsanitized zone.
