The chip tracks when they enter and exit the kitchen, the number of hand washing incidents, water flow — including the duration, and soap use. 

If the system does not recognize someone washing their hands, it takes a picture and includes this data in its report.

Compliance went from 25 to 98 percent, the article said.
