  • Patent number: 10607471
    Abstract: Technologies for monitoring hand hygiene compliance of a user include a remote analysis server configured to receive an indication from a plurality of hand hygiene devices. The hand hygiene devices include one or more disinfectant hand rub dispensing devices and one or more soap dispensing devices. The remote analysis server is further configured to manage a compliance counter for the user based a number of times disinfectant hand rub dispensing device and compare the compliance counter to a non-compliance threshold of the hand hygiene policy. The remote analysis server is configured to transmit a notification of compliance or non-compliance based on whether the compliance counter is greater than or equal to the non-compliance threshold. A threshold of compliance is customizable based on a room type designation.
