  • Patent number: 9524480
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hygiene behaviour support system for enhancing a person's hand hygiene after a toilet visit. Visual LED indicators are provided on a water tap, soap dispenser, paper dispenser and disinfectant dispender to attract the attention of the user to the respective item. Sensors on the items activate the dispensers and register completion of each task, in order to activate the next indicator on the next item, thereby sequentially guiding the user through a complete hygiene procedure. The disinfectant dispenser is connected with the closing mechanism of the door, so that only after the disinfectant is sensed to have been dispensed, the door will open.

  • Publication number: 20150220867
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cleanliness monitoring method for enhancing hygiene in a room or area of a facility, especially a hospital. After cleaning, the level of cleanliness is verified via real time biological and/or microbiological measurements using a hand held device such as an ATP luminometer. Until the desired level of cleanliness has been achieved, cleaning is repeated. Motion sensors determine the activity level of a room (such as a bathroom) and communicate enhanced cleaning needs centrally or to the hand-held device. The hand-held device can be a smartphone or tablet provided with an add-on module.
