A system and method for the management of hair and personal hygiene is provided. The system comprises a hair care instrument including a mounting base having opposing sides each defining a mounting portion in its cross-section. The base includes a proximal end. A first implement is removably connected to at least one of said opposing sides of said base. A handle is provided having an interface edge, the interface edge is adjacent the proximal end of the base, wherein the handle is removably connected to the proximal end of the mounting base.A method of managing personal hygiene for a plurality of users comprising the steps of: providing a personal hygiene tool including a handle removably connected to a first base; connecting the handle to the first base; providing a family of hygiene management implements; connecting at least one of the family of hygiene management implements to the first base; using the at least one of the family of hygiene management implements on a selected first user; removing the at least one of the family of hygiene management implements from the first base; and, connecting at least another of the family of hygiene management implements to the first base.

Predefined lists of selected variables are created and interrelated to produce incident reports. The lists are created and modified through the use of formatted computer screens or input forms, and the reports are produced through the use of formatted computer outputs or output formats. The lists include accident-related information such as industry types, occupations, safety teams, attendance codes, types of injuries, body parts affected, types of incidents, site conditions, accident causes and safety reminders. The input forms often correspond directly to the types of lists, so that there is a form through which the list of industry types is created and / or modified, and another form through which the list of occupations is created. In addition, there are input forms that allow creation and / or modification of several lists at one time, particularly when each element in one list is directly associated with one element from another list. The output formats include agency-related formats such as an OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) No. 200 report, and statistical summaries used for managerial decision making. The statistical summaries may be textual or graphical, or a combination of textual and graphical.

A system for monitoring and recording hand hygiene performance is configured to monitor and record information generated by the operation of dispensers to assess behavior of a group to identify overall hygiene performance. The system includes a plurality of wireless communication devices, with a first number of the wireless communication devices being disposed within or adjacent to dispensers and operatively configured for sensing, monitoring, and reporting information about the status and operation of the dispensers. A hierarchal communication network for access to a central host database, a data processor, and a hygiene management software application operatively configured to create hygiene management reports of hand hygiene rate metrics based upon the monitored dispenser data and a method of providing a user interface. Based on the various computed hand hygiene rates, a hand hygiene improvement metric that identifies the improvement in hand hygiene rates over time is also calculated by the system.

The sanitary management system S includes a plurality of portable communication terminal devices 10, a manager terminal device 20 and a server device 40. The server device 40: (1) extracts two or more feature values related to the color of each pixel constituting a culture medium image; (2) executes statistical analysis based on distribution of pixels of the culture medium image by using a coordinate system prescribed by the extracted two or more feature values of each pixel, and calculates a linear function prescribing relation of the two or more feature values in each pixel; and (3) detects the colonies in the culture medium image based on the calculated linear function and counts the number of colonies.

The present invention relates to a system and method for managing an endoscopic scope, the system comprising: multiple endoscope test devices (21) including an endoscopic scope (212) having an RFID chip (211) for storing endoscopic scope identification (ID) data embedded therein, an RFID reader (216) for reading the endoscopic scope ID data, and an endoscope control unit (213) for receiving the endoscopic scope ID data from the RFID reader (216), outputting the endoscopic scope ID data to an endoscope management server (10), and receiving record data of the endoscope test devices (21); multiple disinfection devices (32) comprising disinfection devices (32) including an RFID reader (322) for reading the endoscopic scope ID data from the RFID chip (211) of the endoscopic scope (212), the multiple disinfection devices (32) including RFID readers (322) for reading the endoscopic scope ID data from the RFID chip (211) mounted on the disinfected endoscopic scope (212) respectively and a disinfection irrigation control unit (321) for receiving, from the RFID readers (322), and transmitting, to an endoscope management server (10), the endoscopic scope ID data; and a leakage test device (40) configured to read the endoscopic scope ID data from the RFID chip (211) of the endoscopic scope (212) and output leakage test information to the endoscope management server (10), thereby efficiently managing sanitation with regard to disinfection and irrigation for each of endoscope test rooms, endoscope test devices, disinfection rooms, and leakage test devices, and achieving thorough disinfection and sanitary management of an endoscopic scope.

Systems have been devised for health management based upon genetic markers. Specifically, systems are arranged to compute genetic risk for several factors relating to metabolism and weight gain in view of various genotypes at particular markers in an individual's genome. An algorithm which depends upon these risk calculations and in further view of the presence of additional variants in the genome under test is executed to arrive at a diet type selection for the particular user. In additions to diet type selections, specific supporting diet related recommendations related to eating behaviors, food reactions and nutritional needs, based upon markers found in the genetic profile, are additionally included in a diet action plan.
