Developing innovative solutions for hand hygiene and infection prevention

Hygienic Echo is a health technology company dedicated to developing innovative solutions for hand hygiene and infection prevention, with the goal of reducing hospital-acquired infections in a range of settings including hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, and hospitality venues. The company’s Buddy Badge System™ consists of four key devices: each caregiver wears a Buddy Badge that receives infrared signals from ceiling-mounted Zone Markers, which indicate specific locations and the hand hygiene actions required in those areas. Dispenser Counters, placed next to every soap and sanitizer dispenser, record each use and communicate with the Buddy Badge, ensuring accurate tracking of hand hygiene practices. The system is completed with a kiosk that both recharges the Buddy Badges and displays performance results, while a daily rewards system encourages and reinforces positive hand hygiene behaviors among staff. Through this integrated approach, Hygienic Echo empowers organizations to improve compliance, reduce infections, and promote safer environments for everyone.
