Patent attributes
The disclosed device, system, and method can be used for monitoring hygienic dispenser usage and compliance. A hygienic dispenser dispenses a hygienic substance such as sanitizer, soap, a glove, or the like. A hygienic sensor adapter device is proximately disposed to the hygienic dispenser. The hygienic sensor adapter device detects a presence of a human hand within an activation area of the dispenser. The hygienic sensor adapter device includes a sensor to detect badges worn by corresponding human subjects. A remote cloud-based computer server can determine a particular human subject from among the human subjects to which the human hand belongs. Accordingly, the hygienic sensor adapter device is able to monitor the activations of all models of hand hygiene dispensers with little to no configuration or modification. The hygienic sensor adapter device rejects false triggers, captures every dispenser activation, and identifies the subject responsible for the dispenser activation.
