> the researchers attached high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to the dryers, which would eliminate most of the bacteria from the air passing through the dryer.

As I recall, one of the selling features of the Dyson Airblade is that it has a HEPA filter built-in.

they might have a hepa filter, but the output drags a tonne of air with it. They are pretty unhygenic, but I'm not sure how bad it is compared to having wet hands.

Maybe one could make an air drier that sucks air around the hands and into a filter instead of onto the hands?
