Penguin Location Services partners with GWA Hygiene

Asset tracking. Indoor navigation. Hygiene management—what do these three innovative healthcare technologies have in common? They optimize critical processes in hospitals and healthcare facilities, directly contributing to enhanced patient safety and operational efficiency.

Health care workers should not waste time to find medical devices or other assets. Patients and visitors should not wander around in the hospital and have unnecessary contacts because it increases the infection risk. Hand hygiene is key to breaking the chain of infections. But unfortunately, hand hygiene compliance is usually only 50%.

Penguin Location Services and GWA Hygiene want to tackle these challenges together. Their technologies have a great product fit. Penguin Location Services decided to introduce the innovative hand hygiene monitoring solution “NosoEx”, that has been developed by GWA Hygiene, to the USA and the MENA countries.

“We have been working with many healthcare facilities introducing our wayfinding and asset tracking platform. A key use case that has tangible ROI is hand hygiene compliance. Being able to know who went where and when are key to ensuring that compliance rules are adhered to. NosoEx has an innovative and cost-effective solution that fits the bill” commented Mohammed Smadi, managing director of Penguin Location Services.

                 

Software interface of the Penguin Location Services healthcare solution

Infection prevention in healthcare is truly a team sport requiring coordinated efforts. Digital healthcare solutions are essential to better understand infection chains and transmission patterns in hospitals and medical facilities. Tobias Gebhardt, managing director of GWA Hygiene, adds:

“We should not leave infection control teams working alone with outdated monitoring tools and legacy systems. The strategic cooperation with Penguin location services provides a completely new toolkit for hospital management and healthcare administrators. We are proud to enter new international markets outside Europe with such a strong technology partner in healthcare innovation.”
