Hand-hygiene & clinical compliance.
Lift hand-hygiene compliance and infection control without slowing care. Dispenser and workflow events are captured automatically, so you measure and nudge behaviour with real data, not spot audits.
Hand-hygiene & clinical compliance: how it works, and what it pays back.
The right radio for the job — chosen, never sold — mapped to your use case. That is what makes the ROI fast.
1 · Sense
Badges and dispensers detect hand-hygiene events at the point of care.
2 · Attribute
Events map to the right moment in the workflow (room entry/exit), anonymised by default.
3 · Nudge & report
Gentle reminders lift compliance; ward-level reporting supports accreditation.
BLE → dispenser events · sensors → workflow context

Industries this solution suits
Compliance you can prove, without slowing care.
A ward captures hand-hygiene events at the point of care, anonymised by default. Gentle reminders lift compliance, and ward-level reporting supports accreditation — replacing occasional spot audits.
Typically bought by: Infection control, nursing leadership, quality / accreditation.

Frequently asked questions
How does electronic hand-hygiene monitoring work?
Badge-worn tags detect interactions with dispensers and proximity to patient zones, automatically logging compliance against the WHO Five Moments - far more data than periodic human audits.
Is it accurate enough to be fair to staff?
Modern UWB and BLE systems resolve room and bed zones precisely, so events are attributed correctly. Most programmes report at unit level to drive improvement rather than to single out individuals.
Does it integrate with our existing RTLS badges?
Often yes - hand hygiene can run on the same staff-badge infrastructure as duress, asset and patient-flow use cases, avoiding a separate single-purpose system.
What about privacy and staff acceptance?
We design with your works council or union and privacy rules in mind - aggregate reporting, a clear purpose and sound data governance are central to adoption.
What is the clinical and financial benefit?
Sustained compliance improvement is linked to lower healthcare-associated infection rates, which means better outcomes and the avoided cost of extended stays.
