Wristband to alert the hands contact with eyes, mouth and nose. This project received funding from [CONIF](https://portal.conif.org.br/br/component/content/article/84-ultimas-noticias/3463-resultado-final-edital-conif-n-01-2020-enfrentamento-a-covid-19?Itemid=609) for the production and donation of 500 units. The wristband is similar in size to a conventional watch. This device monitors the position of the user's hands and vibrates when they get close to its eyes, mouth and nose. Other functions included are for controlling the chewing time and monitoring the sleep activity. In all functions, the wristband uses an artificial neural network to detect hand gestures. The wristband is open source and all source code can be obtained from the project repository.

**Function 1: Avoid Hand-to-Face Contact**. The motivation for the development of this function is due to the habit that we are constantly touching our faces with our hands. This can bring all sorts of harmful agents into our bodies. A 2015 study showed that we touch our faces at least 23 times an hour [1]. Health professionals and institutions, including the World Health Organization (WHO), say this "touch habit" is dangerous [2]. Thus, a device that alerts to a hand-to-face movement can help people to reduce this habit that is harmful to health.

Note in the images above that there is a correct orientation of the bracelet on the wrist for it to work correctly. Regardless of which arm the wristband is on, the USB port should face up. **If you are left-handed you will need to configure the wristband through the application available for download in the [Download](Download_en) section.** Leave the wristband as central as possible on your wrist so that detection is more accurate. See the correct placement in the images below.

Currently the wristband has two functions: **Avoid hand-to-face contact**, **chew time control** and **sleep activity monitoring**. To switch between these three functions, rotate the bracelet around your wrist repeatedly as illustrated in the image below. The wristband will vibrate 3 times to indicate that function 3 (sleep) has been activated, 2 times for function 2 (chew) or 1 time to indicate function 1 (touch) has been activated. These functions are disabled by default. Configure the wristband by connecting it to a computer via the USB port.

For a 120mAh battery it is estimated that the wristband will work for approximately 10 hours. The wristband must be charged for 6 hours, for this you can use a cell phone charger.
