Related Studies
In a study that was conducted, as the coronavirus spread over the world, the
demand for hand sanitizers increased. Hands are used to push the sanitizing lid on
surface, increasing the risk of infection. Many people walk past without cleaning
themselves since pressing the pump handle is a laborious task. Furthermore, each
user pushes the cap in a different way, making it impossible to forecast how much
is used and manage replacement or refilling schedules. Sanitation has been one of
the most important pillars of warfare, and it is the most effective strategy for
23
preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus, combined with the usage of face
devices. This necessitates the use of sanitizers and sanitizer dispensers. The
majority of them, however, are not contactless, defeating the goal of sanitizing
viruses. It also aids in the prevention of disease-causing germs and bacteria from
early extensive studies on the efficiency of antiseptic hand rubs (White et al., 2003).
Alcohols and other alternative hand sanitizing agents can also make the task done.
The most efficient hand sanitizers are alcohol-based formulations comprising 62%–
95% alcohol, which may eradicate microbial proteins and inactivate viruses, given

that have been conducted, the technology management plan was designed as an
FINDINGS
Age. The majority of the respondents age were in the range of 21 to 25 years
old as revealed by the data. This garnered a total of 72.50 percent of the
respondents. This showed that most of the users of the product were the grown-
ups, knowing that college students were also in this age range.
Gender. The majority of the users were male that garnered a total of 62.50
percent that was revealed by the data. This indicated that most of the students,
faculty and staff of the College of Technology were male and few females. There
was no doubt about the gender majority, for most of the enrolled students and
the faculty and staff who were the end users of the product.
presented revealed the problems encountered using the manual sanitation. The
usage of manual sanitation was of no issue before the start of the CoVid19
pandemic, for its usage was not a requirement in all settings and venues. As the
pandemic emerge in early 2020 the use of sanitizer fluids became an ordeal, it
became a weapon in dealing against the virus. However, the use of unautomated
sanitizer dispenser may spread the virus defeating the purpose of full hand
sanitation because the user needs to touch the dispenser. The long-term use of the
49
manual button was seen also as a problem, as the manual button will be pushed by
the users of different force, the button may loose over time. The scenario of the
users pushing the manual sanitizer dispenser also have been found to be time
consuming.
this applied research project of innovative hand sanitizer dispenser with fogging
system addresses the problems that were stated. In compliance to the guidelines
mandated by the Department of Health (DOH) and Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF),
innovative hand sanitizer dispenser with fogging system’s performance was seen.

The data given by the respondents provided their perception of the innovative
hand sanitizer dispenser with fogging system. The inputs gathered by the
researchers was analyzed and the researchers were able to obtain the perception
of the students, faculty and staff in reference to the innovative hand sanitizer
dispenser with fogging system. The perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness
were the bases of the respondents’ perception. As for the ease of use, the product

CONCLUSION
Based on the findings, the innovative hand sanitizer dispenser with fogging
system aid the university’s Unified Computer Laboratory in maintaining the safety of
the students, faculty and staff as they enter and start their work at the institution.
This automated technology that asserts innovation, fosters the school’s quality
policy as it prioritizes the safety of the students, faculty and staff. As the university
will engage in going back to traditional school setting learning set-up, this technology
will help the facility, the computer laboratory, of the College of Technology CoVid19
resilient. This technology provides automated sanitation to the students, faculty and

Rationale
The pandemic has continued spreading throughout the world and countless
measures have been taken to provide prevention for the people and lessen the
number of cases affected by the virus COVID-19. To combat the spread of this
pandemic, hand hygiene has been put into practice, along with disinfection by
diseases like COVID-19. People necessitates safety without the hassle of doing
classes slowly resuming among universities, the possibility of having another wave
of the virus is inevitable but could be prevented when measures are properly
implemented.
sanitizer dispenser is a time-saving measure done with the same purpose as what
was first mentioned, which is hand washing. Hand sanitizers and ethyl/isopropyl
alcohols have been widely used especially since 2020 because this product kills
harmful bacteria, dries faster, is simple to use, and is a portable product. On the
prevention of spreading the virus by disinfecting the end-user who isn’t wearing the
