An image dataset for surveillance of personal protective equipment adherence in healthcare

Abstract Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) use is critical to prevent disease transmission to healthcare providers, especially those treating patients with a high infection risk. To address the challenge of monitoring PPE usage in healthcare, computer vision has been evaluated for tracking...

description Abstract Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) use is critical to prevent disease transmission to healthcare providers, especially those treating patients with a high infection risk. To address the challenge of monitoring PPE usage in healthcare, computer vision has been evaluated for tracking adherence. Existing datasets for this purpose, however, lack a diversity of PPE and nonadherence classes, represent single not multiple providers, and do not depict dynamic provider movement during patient care. We introduce the Resuscitation Room Personal Protective Equipment (R2PPE) dataset that bridges this gap by providing a realistic portrayal of diverse PPE use by multiple interacting individuals in a healthcare setting. This dataset contains 26 videos, 10,034 images and 123,751 bounding box annotations for 17 classes of PPE adherence and nonadherence for eyewear, masks, gowns, and gloves, and one additional head class. Evaluations using newly proposed metrics confirm R2PPE exhibits higher annotation density than three established general-purpose and medical PPE datasets. The R2PPE dataset provides a resource for developing computer vision algorithms for monitoring PPE use in healthcare.
