Hygienic Echo Smart Hand Hygiene and Infection Prevention Solutions
Hygienic Echo’s Electronic Hand Hygiene and Infection Prevention Solutions feature wearable badges that prompt hand hygiene only when necessary. By improving hand hygiene compliance and automating hand hygiene audits, our system helps prevent infection across healthcare environments. As a result, it helps save lives and protect staff, patients, residents, and families by reducing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), outbreaks, emergency transfers, lengths of stay, and infection-related mortality, while saving money by reducing unnecessary PPE consumption and staff sick days and by automating auditing.
