    Abstract: A hand sanitation dispensing and tracking system is disclosed that encourages proper hand sanitization to maintain cleanliness and limit the spread of harmful pathogens. More specifically, a system is provided that detects the approach of a person to an area where it is desirous to limit the spread of germs, provides escalating notifications to the person to sanitize their hands, tracks whether the person uses the sanitizer, and records the information for later statistical analysis. Moreover, the system is small and portable thereby allowing it to be effective in remote areas, or in areas where electricity is not readily available or reliable.
