ANN ARBOR, Mich. , July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BioVigil, the leader in electronic hand hygiene technology solutions, has redesigned its user badges with upgraded sensing technology, stronger durability and extended battery power, giving users better functionality for system-wide hand hygiene monitoring and compliance. BioVigil uses beacons that interact with individual user badges to monitor when healthcare workers enter and exit a patient room, and when they perform hand hygiene either with hand sanitizer or soap and water.
When the user passes their hand over the badge, a sensor in the badge detects whether hands are clean, the badge light turns green, and the user earns credit for the hand hygiene opportunity. BioVigil's new badge uses an upgraded sensor. The engineering and IT team developed new technology that reinforces proper engagement with the badge to earn compliance.
BioVigil engineers also redesigned the badge to work with an enhanced battery that charges faster and lasts longer on each charge. "Our engineers were able to keep all the best elements of the badge, including its user-friendly size and weight, and add better functionality and durability to provide our clients with the best automated hand hygiene solution available today," said Sanjay Gupta , BioVigil president and CEO. In addition to sensor and battery changes, the new badges are resilient to cleaning solutions, so users can sanitize the badges without damaging the sensitive internal circuit boards.
