Human–machine collaboration using artificial intelligence to enhance the safety of donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE)

Abstract

This study provides preliminary evidence suggesting that a human-AI machine system may be able to serve as a substitute or enhancement to an onsite buddy performing the PPE monitoring task. It provides practical assistance using a combination of a computer mirror, visual prompts, and verbal commands. However, further studies are required to examine its clinical efficacy with a diverse range of individuals performing the donning and doffing procedures.
