What do these three groups of words have in common?
They optimize processes in hospitals and by doing so contribute to patient safety.
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%.
PenguinIN and GWA Hygiene want to tackle these challenges together. Their technologies have a great product fit. PenguinIN 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 PenguinIN.

Infection prevention is a team sport. Digital solutions are required to better understand infection chains in hospitals. Tobias Gebhardt, managing director of GWA Hygiene, adds:
“We should not leave infection control teams alone with outdated tools. The cooperation with PenguinIN provides a totally new tool set for the hospital management. We are proud to enter new markets outside Europe with such a strong partner.”
