Infection control audits
Every round signed. Now every round shown.
OT readiness, biomedical waste, terminal cleaning and sterilisation, with the gauge, scale or room behind each answer.
Operation theatre readiness check
ExamplePressure to the corridor: photo of the display
Limit: +2.5 Pa or more
Read +1.2 Pa. Failed reading
Shows up as a failed reading in head office's Pulse.
Example: the photo of OT 2's pressure gauge is read as +1.2 pascals against the corridor, below the +2.5 limit, so the reading fails and is flagged before the first case.
The problem
The register says the OT was ready. Was the pressure right?
Rounds get signed whether or not anyone read the gauge. Ops AI reads it off the photo.
Was the OT ready?
The checklist says:
SignedOps AI checks: Temperature, humidity and pressure gauges read from photos
Was the waste segregated?
The checklist says:
Ticked: yesOps AI checks: Bin station checked: all four colours, lids on, nothing overfilled
How much waste went out?
The checklist says:
"About 40 kg"Ops AI checks: The scale display and the bag label read from photos
Was the room terminally cleaned?
The checklist says:
Ticked: yesOps AI checks: Room photo checked: fresh linen, no waste or stains left
Did the sterilisation cycle pass?
The checklist says:
SignedOps AI checks: Cycle printout read: hold temperature, pressure and time

Questions
Quick answers.
What the AI doesn't do
It doesn't watch hand hygiene: the auditor counts it. It doesn't count waste bags: it reads the scale. And ZealMint doesn't certify for NABH; it keeps the evidence an assessor asks for.
Does ZealMint help with NABH?
It keeps the infection control evidence an assessor asks for, every day: rounds, readings and photos by unit and date. It doesn't certify or accredit.
How are patients kept out of photos?
Every photo question in patient areas asks staff to keep patients and records out of frame, and the AI can flag faces or personal details for review.
Can it read our OT gauges?
Yes. Staff photograph the temperature, humidity and pressure displays; AI reads each one and compares it with what they typed.
Does it work in basements and areas without signal?
Yes. Rounds are filled offline and sent when the phone reconnects; photos taken without signal are checked by AI then, and a failed one is flagged for the manager instead of blocked.
Bring one ward's rounds.
We'll set them up in Ops AI and show you what the photos catch.
