New technologies are being developed and marketed to healthcare facilities all over the world as a way to stop healthcare- associated infections. The Internet of Things and artificial intelligence have been created with a variety of capabilities to improve people's health, offer necessary services, and monitor their health The potential adoption of these technology in automated surveillance and automated hand hygiene compliance monitoring systems has a lot to offer health care systems. However, the success or failure of the use of technology will depend on the awareness of the challenge and the establishment of a strategy, goals, and processes to support technology deployment, maintenance, and training. System differences between nations and a lack of standardization in the application of digitalization in health care hinder this technology from providing the full range of potential benefits. In this review, we explore the use of technology in the areas of automated infection surveillance in healthcare-associated infection and hand hygiene compliance, with an emphasis on the difficulties in developing such technologies
