Company description
HandGiene Corp. manufactures and offers a Patented RFID enabled Hand Wash Monitoring System that ensures compliance by all covered personnel with established hand wash protocols in a participating facility. The HandGiene System is non invasive and quite frankly, as simple as washing your hands. Each person who is required to comply with hand washing protocols is issued an RFID embedded name badge or tag. This tag allows our RFID enabled hand cleanser dispensing units and ancillary RFID readers to monitor employees as they move about the facility, in and out of the kitchen or storage rooms and use the bathroom and in the case of a hospital, patient rooms. Each and every hand wash opportunity is monitored and successful or unsuccessful hand washes are logged into an database where administrators can access it in real time.

Competitive advantage

We differ from other companies that attempt to offer a Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring Solution in that the HandGiene System works in all areas of a facility. Our HandGiene Hand Cleanser Dispensers can dispense a variety of our proprietary soap and waterless hand sanitizers.  Our backend systems are designed to integrate with existing legacy systems to facilitate rapid deployment in specific areas or throughout a facility.   Our web-based software allows for administrators to look at specific employees, crews, stations, departments, shifts or an entire facility or in the case of larger concerns, an entire system of facilities.
