Have you ever thought about protecting your questionnaire?
In research, questionnaires are often seen as supporting tools, designed, used, and then set aside.
But in reality, they are valuable intellectual assets.
A well-developed questionnaire reflects:
• Rigorous research design
• Validated structure and methodology
• Unique insights shaped by your expertise
💡 As original written content, questionnaires are protected under copyright, giving you ownership over how they are used and shared.
More importantly, they can go beyond research.
With proper protection, your questionnaire can be:
✔ Licensed to external organisations
✔ Adapted for industry or clinical use
✔ Commercialized as part of training or consultancy services
At UMCIE, we support researchers in recognising the value of their work, not just as academic outputs, but as assets with real-world application.
If others can use it, it has value. Have you protected yours?

💡 A System and Method for Monitoring Hand Hygiene Compliance
Hand hygiene is one of the most effective measures to prevent healthcare-associated infections. Yet, ensuring consistent compliance among healthcare personnel remains a global challenge. UM Innovation (PI 2020005297)

This innovation introduces a smart monitoring system designed to:
✔️ Track hand hygiene practices in real-time
✔️ Improve compliance through data-driven insights
✔️ Support healthcare institutions in strengthening infection control measures

By leveraging technology, this system not only enhances accountability but also fosters a culture of safety within healthcare settings.

As we mark this important day, let us remember:
👐 Clean hands save lives, and innovation helps make it sustainable.
