Abstract
The present systems and methods relate to a hand sanitizer system that includes a proximity detector, a dispensing system and an alarm feature, and is operative to provide an indication corresponding to a person in proximity of the system failing to dispense antiseptic or other solution from the dispenser within a predetermined period of time after moving within a predetermined range of the detector.
Claims20
A hand sanitization system comprising at least one processor configured to:
- receive sanitization usage data from one or more sanitization units, the sanitization usage data comprising an indication of:
- a number of times a dispenser operatively connected to the one or more sanitization units is activated by a person;
- and
- a number of times an alarm is activated, wherein the alarm is activated corresponding to the person failing to dispense antiseptic solution from a dispenser within a predetermined period of time after moving within a predetermined range of the one or more sanitization units;
- calculate one or more performance indicators based on the sanitization usage data over time;
- and
- cause a display operatively connected to the at least one processor to display the performance indicator, wherein the at least one processor is operatively connected to the one or more sanitization units, each of the one or more sanitization units comprising:
- a proximity detector operatively connected to a housing, the proximity detector operative to determine proximity of the person with respect to a particular sanitization unit;
- a proximity sensor action counter operatively connected to the proximity detector, the proximity sensor action counter for counting each proximity indication from the proximity detector indicating when the person is within a particular predetermined range;
- a sanitizer action counter operatively connected to a particular dispenser, the sanitizer action counter for counting each time the particular dispenser is activated;
- an alarm operatively connected to the housing and being operative to provide an indication to the person, the indication corresponding to the person failing to dispense antiseptic solution from the particular dispenser within a particular predetermined period of time after moving within the particular predetermined range of the particular sanitization unit;
- and
- an alarm counter operatively connected to the alarm, the alarm counter for counting each time the alarm is activated.

A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving sanitization usage data, via at least one processor, from one or more sanitization units, the sanitization usage data comprising an indication of:
- a number of times a dispenser operatively connected to the one or more sanitization units is activated by a person;
- and
- a number of times an alarm is activated, wherein the alarm is activated corresponding to the person failing to dispense antiseptic solution from a dispenser within a predetermined period of time after moving within a predetermined range of the one or more sanitization units;
- calculating, via the at least one processor, one or more performance indicators based on the sanitization usage data over time;
- and
- causing, via the at least one processor, a display to display the performance indicator, wherein the at least one processor is operatively connected to the one or more sanitization units, each of the one or more sanitization units comprising:
- a proximity detector operatively connected to a housing, the proximity detector operative to determine proximity of the person with respect to a particular sanitization unit;
- a proximity sensor action counter operatively connected to the proximity detector, the proximity sensor action counter for counting each proximity indication from the proximity detector indicating when the person is within a particular predetermined range;
- a sanitizer action counter operatively connected to a particular dispenser, the sanitizer action counter for counting each time the particular dispenser is activated;
- an alarm operatively connected to the housing and being operative to provide an indication to the person, the indication corresponding to the person failing to dispense antiseptic solution from the particular dispenser within a particular predetermined period of time after moving within the particular predetermined range of the particular sanitization unit;
- and
- an alarm counter operatively connected to the alarm, the alarm counter for counting each time the alarm is activated.
