“The aim is to make it so simple that sanitising becomes habitual every time you open the door,” the firm said.

The refillable handles come with built-in sensors that link to a web application that can tell you how often the dispensers are being activated in relation to how frequently the doors are opened.

Hospitals can track sanitation rates over time and compare their use at different locations throughout the facility, the firm added in a statement.
