Abstract: System and method for monitoring hand hygiene of a user. The system includes a handheld electronic device for being carried by the user to generate device data such as location data. A portable dispenser assembly is worn by the user to dispense disinfectant fluid from a container in a plurality of dispensing events. The assembly includes an electronics unit that generates event data relating to the dispensing events. The assembly is separate from the handheld electronic device yet configured to communicate with the handheld electronic device. A monitoring system receives the device data and the event data relating to the dispensing events for evaluating the hand hygiene of the user.

Abstract: A portable dispenser assembly for dispensing disinfectant to a user. The assembly includes a main housing defining a cavity for receiving a container in an inverted position. The main housing defines an opening into the cavity through which the container is inserted in the inverted position so that a stem of the container is directed downwardly in the main housing. The main housing including a bottom wall, a side wall, and a nozzle fixed with respect to the walls. The nozzle defines an inlet opposite the opening for receiving the stem of the container in the inverted position and the nozzle defines a discharge aperture configured to direct the disinfectant fluid from the container toward the user when the user depresses the container relative to the main housing to dispense the disinfectant fluid from the container.

Abstract: A dispenser assembly for dispensing disinfectant to a user and associated monitoring systems and methods. The dispenser assembly includes a main housing defining a cavity and a container disposed within the cavity and releasably secured to the main housing. The container contains a fluid therewithin. An electronics unit is coupled to the main housing and includes a sensor for detecting an activation signal. The electronics unit includes a controller for producing a reminder signal in response to the detection of the activation signal to remind the user to dispense fluid from the container.
