dc.description.abstract	Maintaining proper hand hygiene and frequent glove replacement is essential in med- ical and hygiene-sensitive environments to reduce the risk of infection and cross- contamination. However, the traditional process of hand sanitization and glove wearing can be time-consuming, inconvenient, and often requires direct human assistance, es- pecially in high-pressure environments such as hospitals and laboratories. This project presents GloviX, an automated, contactless system designed to perform hand sanitization, drying, and medical glove wearing in a single integrated workflow. The system consists of two enclosed units: a sanitization unit and a glove dispensing unit. GloviX utilizes an Arduino-based control system, ultrasonic sensors for hand detection, motors and actuators for mechanical movement, and airflow mechanisms for glove preparation and inflation. The developed prototype successfully demonstrates the feasibility of automating the glove-wearing process while reducing human contact and encouraging faster glove replacement. Although no quantitative measurements or clinical validation were con- ducted, practical testing confirmed that the system performs its intended functions effectively. GloviX highlights the potential of combining embedded systems, mechan- ical design, and automation to improve hygiene practices in medical, industrial, and laboratory environments.
