Revolutionizing Healthcare: Asset Tracking, Navigation, and Hygiene Management Unite

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.

The Healthcare Challenge: Time, Safety, and Compliance

Critical Time Lost in Healthcare Asset Tracking

Healthcare workers should not waste valuable time searching for medical devices or other critical assets. Every minute spent locating equipment is time taken away from patient care.

Navigation and Infection Risk

Patients and visitors should not wander around in the hospital facility and have unnecessary contacts—this increases infection risk and compromises patient safety protocols.

The Hand Hygiene Compliance Gap

Hand hygiene is the foundation of breaking the chain of infections. Yet despite its critical importance, hand hygiene compliance rates typically hover around only 50% in healthcare facilities worldwide.

Strategic Partnership: Penguin Location Services & GWA Hygiene

Combining Technologies for Healthcare Excellence

Penguin Location Services and GWA Hygiene have joined forces to tackle these interconnected healthcare challenges. Their technologies demonstrate exceptional product synergy, creating comprehensive solutions for modern medical facilities.

Expanding Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring to New Markets

Penguin Location Services has made a strategic decision to introduce the innovative hand hygiene compliance monitoring solution “NosoEx“—developed by GWA Hygiene—to healthcare facilities across the USA and MENA countries.

Expert Perspective: The Business Case for Hand Hygiene Compliance

Mohammed Smadi, Managing Director of Penguin Location Services, shares insights on this strategic partnership:

“We have been working with many healthcare facilities introducing our wayfinding and healthcare 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.”
