Enhancing Hand Hygiene Practices Through a Social Robot-Assisted Intervention in a Rural School in India
摘要
This paper discusses pilot deployment of a social robot “WallBo” that investigated the effectiveness in promoting and encouraging handwashing practices among children in a rural school in India. The results suggest an overall 85.06% handwashing compliance, 51.60% improvement from the baseline handwashing compliance and an overall ~ 50% knowledge improvement about handwashing. We also present students’ perception about “WallBo” and feedback from the pupils and teachers.
