MedSense Overview

A New Frontier in Hand Hygiene

General Sensing’s flagship product is MedSense, an innovative approach to hand hygiene in health-care facilities.

MedSense uses an electronic sensor-based system to help improve hand-hygiene practices of health-care practitioners. Through automated and continuous monitoring, hospitals can easily track and analyze compliance with hand-hygiene procedures.

The information can be used to reward strong performance and to drive improvements in compliance. This ensures a safer, more efficient health-care environment for patients, practitioners and administrators alike.

Solution to a Serious Problem

The failure to maintain appropriate hand hygiene is a major problem that affects many medical institutions. Studies show a poor rate of adherence by health-care workers to recommended hand-hygiene procedures, with an average compliance rate of only 40%.

The MedSense system provides next-generation tools for improving hand-hygiene compliance. That makes health-care practitioners more effective in their jobs, while increasing the overall level of care.
