Abstract: Embodiments of the present inventive concept include retrofit compliance apparatus, which can include a catch basin or drip tray. The retrofit compliance apparatus can be used in conjunction with a hand hygiene dispenser, and monitor for compliant usage of the dispenser. The retrofit compliance apparatus can include one or more microcontrollers and one or more sensors. The retrofit compliance apparatus can detect whether the dispenser has been properly used. The retrofit compliance apparatus can collect data allowing the determination of the identity of who used the dispenser. Historical information about valid dispense counts and invalid dispense counts for each individual user can be maintained by a remote server.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present inventive concept leverage RSS patterns, accelerometer patterns, hygiene event information, and hub locations to increase accuracy of room-level positioning of objects and people, and to ensure a high accuracy detection of zone entry and/or exit times in an indoor environment, all of which facilitate an accurate hand hygiene compliance monitoring system in hospitals and other medical facilities, as well as a variety of other applications.

Abstract: The disclosed device, system, and method can be used for monitoring hygienic dispenser usage and compliance. A hygienic dispenser dispenses a hygienic substance such as sanitizer, soap, a glove, or the like. A hygienic sensor adapter device is proximately disposed to the hygienic dispenser. The hygienic sensor adapter device detects a presence of a human hand within an activation area of the dispenser. The hygienic sensor adapter device includes a sensor to detect badges worn by corresponding human subjects. A remote cloud-based computer server can determine a particular human subject from among the human subjects to which the human hand belongs. Accordingly, the hygienic sensor adapter device is able to monitor the activations of all models of hand hygiene dispensers with little to no configuration or modification. The hygienic sensor adapter device rejects false triggers, captures every dispenser activation, and identifies the subject responsible for the dispenser activation.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a system for tracking hand hygiene may comprise a plurality of dispensers, each dispenser configured to detect a hand-hygiene event and wirelessly transmit hand-hygiene event information associated with the hand-hygiene event. The system may also include a room hub configured to wirelessly transmit location information. Further, the system may include a user circuit module configured to wirelessly receive the hand-hygiene event information, wirelessly receive the location information, and store the hand-hygiene event information, a first time stamp associated with the hand-hygiene event information, the location information, and a second time stamp associated with the location information, in a memory. The user circuit module may also be configured to transmit the hand-hygiene event information, the first time stamp, the location information, the second time stamp, and a user identifier to a central server.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a sanitizer dispenser may include a dispenser intake, a diaphragm pump including a diaphragm and a pump chamber, a dispenser outlet, a first one-way valve having an intake in fluid communication with the dispenser intake and an output in fluid communication with the pump chamber, a second one-way valve having an intake in fluid communication with the pump chamber and an outlet in fluid communication with the dispenser outlet, and a push plate including an outer surface and configured to press an outer surface of the diaphragm when the push plate is pressed.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic module may comprise a sensor configured to detect a dispensing action, a processor configured to record a dispense indicator when the sensor detects a dispensing action and read a user identifier from a user identifier memory configured to interchangeably operate in conjunction with a plurality of sanitizer dispensers, and a transceiver configured to transmit the user identifier to a network and transmit the dispense indicator to the network.
