Using wearable electronic sensors for assessing contacts between individuals in

transmission
Philippe Vanhems for the study group*Infection Control Unit, Hôpital Edouard Herriot, Lyon, France
Background• Most hospital-acquired infections are transmitted by
close-contact (i.e. patients, healthcare workers, visitor or environment)
• Knowledge of contacts between individuals is therefore crucial– to study the diffusion of pathogens– to design effective control measures and target appropriate
populations
• However, little is known about the contact patterns underlying the spread of infections at hospital
• Previous studies mainly collected data based on a self-administered questionnaire, with bias
• School– Stehlé J et al. (2011) High-resolution measurements of face-to-face contact
patterns in a primary school. PLoS ONE 2011;6(8):e23176
• Hospitals– Isella L et al. (2011) Close encounters in a pediatric ward: measuring face-to-face
proximity and mixing patterns with wearable sensors. PLoS ONE 6(2):e17144

Data collected
• Persons are asked to wear the tag on their chest or waist
• Face-to-face interactions for each individual• Number of interactions between individuals• Duration of interactions between individuals• Evolution with time

Data collection
• Monday 6 December 2010, 1PM to Friday 10 December 2010, 14PM
• Morning from 7AM to 1:30PM, Afternoon from 1:30PM to 8PM, Night from 8PM to 7AM
• Day from 7AM to 8PM, Night from 8PM to 7AM

Implementation
Results• 50 healthcare workers/59 (85%): medical and
paramedical HCWs, administrative staff
• 29 patients/31 (94%)
• 5 consecutive days from Monday to Friday (December 2010)
• Over the study period– 14,037 contacts– Average contacts per person: 30 (6-61)– Average duration of contact per person: 46s (20s – 65min)
• Detailed measurements of face-to-face interactions between individuals
• Collected data seem close to what happen actually
• Flexible and portable technology• High participation rate• Tool for communication and training
21
Limits• The technology only measured interactions between
individuals– Who agree to participate and to wear a tag– Who are in the zones covered by antennas
• The technology is particularly adapted to the field of respiratory-spread infections but less likely for infections transmitted by direct or very close contact
• The limited period of time (2 to 5 days) of data collection limits the ability to draw conclusions at longer time scales– But continuous improvement of the technology
22
Conclusions• Detailed measurements of interactions
– Description and possibly identification of situations at-risk of infection transmission
– Statistical inference if combined with clinical and microbiological data
– Modeling of the spread of various infectious diseases and assessing the effect of specific control measures
• Perspectives– Simulations of diseases spread using school and geriatric data
(on going)
– Larger study with more hospital wards and with microbiological samples (next winter)

Mesures par radiofréquence des contacts en milieu hospitalier en vue de modéliser la propagation des infections nosocomiales,
application à l’infection grippale saisonnière.

Objectifs
• Décrire les contacts dans un service hospitalier en période d’épidémie grippale à l’aide de technologies RFID
• Associer ces contacts à des prélèvements virologiques permettant de connaître la présence ou non de virus respiratoires
• Appliquer à la recherche dans le domaine des infections nosocomiales
Méthode: les capteurs
Equipement, avec leur accord, des personnels soignants ayant des contacts avec les patients.
Equipements, avec leur accord ou celui des familles, des patients.
Méthode: les prélèvements
Patients : prélèvement systématique lors de l’entrée (ou début d’étude) et de la sortie (ou fin d’étude). Prélèvement supplémentaire en cas d’apparition d’un syndrome grippal.
Ecouvillonnage nasal à l’aide d’un virocult ®: prélèvements envoyés au Laboratoire de Virologie Est des Hospices Civils de Lyon.
Personnel soignant: prélèvement systématique en début et fin d’étude. Prélèvement supplémentaire en cas d’apparition de syndrome grippal.
