We compared the observations of nearly 1,400 hand-hygiene-related events recorded by an automated system and by human observers. Observation details differed for 38% of these events. Two likely explanations for these inconsistencies were the distance between the observer and the event and the busyness of the clinic.

The paper deals with the problem of automated monitoring system improvement. The goal of the study is to create a controlling module of automated monitoring system for automation of calculations and assessment process of traction transformer's remaining life analysis. To achieve the goal, the modern power transformer’s diagnostic systems and methods of scientific analysis are considered, full-scaled experimental study are used. To adjust the timing of the current and major repairs, it is proposed to improve this monitoring system by creating an additional module to determine the traction transformer’s remaining life throughout its life cycle in real time and the formation of a warning system. Requirements to transformer’s remaining life assess module are formulated. Calculation algorithm and program module for identifying the transformer’s remaining life parameters are described. Benefits of introduction into the existing AMS a new additional module for calculating the transformer’s remaining life are shown.
