Abstract
Contact precaution policies are used to prevent the spread of pathogenic organisms. We aimed to test whether AI-assisted cameras could monitor aspects of compliance with these policies. Testing in both simulated and real patient care settings yielded exceptional sensitivity and good specificity, indicating potential to monitor adherence to contact precautions.Keywords
