Blue Mirror: Virtual PPE Instructor
90% OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE AT RISK WHEN PUTTING ON AND TAKING OFF THEIR PPE.
Imagine a world where PPE training is available to all staff members, in all departments 24/7, without any additional staff resources.
Blue Mirror is not a training video or slides, it is an observational AI training system that turns a tablet or laptop into a digital mirror. Trained to see and respond, Blue Mirror assesses and corrects errors in PPE application by reacting to you in real time.
It saves time, money, and resource, improves infection control and minimises the spread of infections by reducing PPE errors.
Blue Mirror AI was developed in New Zealand, by clinicians, for clinicians. CorrMed is proud to be the approved UK distributor for the software, working with our clients to support and enhance infection control procedures.

How It Works
Donning & Doffing done right
Working from a wall mounted tablet, laptop or mobile device Blue Mirror AI can be used in and adapted to any environment.
Whenever a member of your team steps in front of the ‘mirror’, the system automatically begins guidance through the donning or doffing process, working through step by step, and automatically identifying and correcting PPE errors in real-time.
.
The system features:
​
-
100% touchless interaction
​
-
anonymous real-time use: the system does not retain personal information or images of your staff
​
-
visual and audio guidance, adapted to your specific environment and PPE requirements
​
-
instant, real-time correction of errors
​
-
a training mode where students can test their knowledge, and where staff can review test results to address specific learning needs.
​
Constant learning: the system incorporates machine learning to constantly identify new errors, not only within your clinical environment, but with others around the world. This means the system can adapt as PPE protocol changes.
Quotes from Blue Mirror users during evaluation
improved infection control
PPE is the frontline in infection control, so common errors unfortunately help spread infection from person to person. Correcting donning and doffing errors therefore easily mitigates much of the infection risk and improves overall control within the environment, benefitting your staff and patients alike.
cost savings
When compared with using a colleague as a PPE buddy, Blue Mirror delivers significant cost and resource savings, not to mention reducing time requirements and cost implications from PPE related infections, it's easy.
step by step instructions
Adapted to your environment, your users are guided step by step through the donning & doffing process that suits your specific PPE requirements, helping get it right, every single time.
improved PPE compliance
Thanks to automatic error detection and correction with simple instructions.
continuous training
Removing the margin for human error and the need for regular retraining, Blue Mirror AI delivers the same instructions every single time, helping reinforce training.
training and practice mode
Blue Mirror comes with a training mode to train any new clinician or student in your specific practices, as well as a practice mode where training sessions are logged and results vetted, enabling students to practice on their own.
PPE Training & Practice
Blue Mirror can be used for the initial training of your clinicians, and/or as a practice and revision tool for ongoing assessment.
It works to:
TRAIN
Delivering step-by-step instructions, with video and audio, teaching your team how to properly don and doff their PPE. It does not require an instructor and can be used to provide multiple sessions of 1:1 training at the same time.
REINFORCE
All training is delivered in a modular format and these modules can be accessed and reused, time and time again. This means students can revise their training at any time in the practice mode and will also have their training reinforced every single time they use the system live, too.
ASSESS
As part of the training programme, each student is given an individual profile with access to their own training platform, identifiable with an unique QR code. Every time they train or practice with the system, their results are logged against their profile, helping them to improve over time, and helping you to identify specific, individual training needs. The system specifically does not include or use facial recognition, to maintain your student’s privacy outside of the institution.
