  • Publication number: 20210252177
    Abstract: A mobile computing device monitors sanitization of an object by electro-optical (EO) radiation emitted by a sanitizer device. The mobile computing device determines the cumulative exposure based on a position and/or orientation of the sanitizer device relative to the object. The mobile computing device captures images of the object, and augments the image with graphical elements indicating a cumulative exposure of respective portions of the object by the EO radiation. The augmented images may be presented within a graphical user interface presented on a display of the mobile computing device.

  • Publication number: 20210030902
    Abstract: A sanitization device comprises an enclosure comprising emitters configured to emit sanitizing electro-optical radiation into an interior compartment. The sanitization device further includes a panel having an open configuration and a closed configuration adapted to enclose the inner compartment. The panel includes an inner surface forming a depression configured to receive a portable device when the panel is in the open configuration and to secure the portable device as the panel transitions to the closed configuration. The sanitization device may further comprise an actuator configured to transition the panel between the open and closed configurations in response to inputs received via a touchless input interface.

  • Publication number: 20180357385
    Abstract: A sanitization system includes a sanitization manager and one or more sanitization stations. The sanitization manager monitors portable devices (PDs), and schedules sanitization operations for the PDs based on, inter alia, a sanitization policy. The sanitization policy may require a PD to be sanitized based on a time elapsed since a last time the PD was sanitized and/or potential contamination of the PD (e.g., based on PD usage, location, patient exposure, and/or the like). The sanitization stations may be configured to notify the sanitization manager of sanitization operations performed on respective PDs.
