Many years ago my grandfather went in for an operation at a hospital. It was successful, but a week later, both he, and every other patient in the surgery ward that week died. Why? Due to a hospital-acquired infection, most likely from poor hand hygieneLike my grandfather, over 700-thousand people each year in the US alone are afflicted by such infections, and poor hand hygiene has time & again been shown to be the number 1 cause. This is due to the fact that only 7% of healthcare workers actually have properly cleaned hands.At HyGenius, we’ve created a new category, Proactive Hygiene Management, to quantify, automate, and improve hand hygiene via monitoring, instant feedback, and analytics, to prevent infection spread, and thus, prevent others from losing their grandfathers.
