Annually, nearly 2 million patients in the United States are exposed to Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI), such as MRSA, VRE, etc. and 80,000 to 100,000 of those will be fatal. Similar statistics exist in the European Union countries, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, the Gulf States, etc.

I have designed an experiment where I can collect data in the field - without human error and bias - so that hopefully a technology can be applied to reduce HAI to a minimum state.
