Why hand hygiene compliance still fails
Despite clear clinical guidelines and decades of evidence, hand hygiene compliance remains insufficiently measured, standardized, and visible across healthcare systems.
Hospitals face:
lack of objective, comparable compliance indicators
delayed or incomplete reporting
low visibility for patients, management, and regulators
safety culture erosion caused by unverifiable processes
As emphasized by organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent healthcare-associated infections — yet remains one of the hardest to enforce consistently.
The Proxigent approach
Proxigent addresses hand hygiene compliance at the moment it matters, not after the fact.
By combining:
LE-UWB proximity and distance detection
context-aware rules
instant visual feedback
automatic event recording
the system transforms hand hygiene from a retrospective metric into a real-time behavioral signal.
This is hand hygiene compliance technology built for real clinical environments — not audits alone.
How Proxigent works (system in action)
1. Staff tag with real-time feedback
Each staff member wears a lightweight ergonomic compliance tag:
- integrated LE-UWB proximity circuit
- long-life CRC battery (no charging required)
- practical clip for daily use
- LED indicator showing hygiene status
2. Proximity modules in patient zones
A proximity module mounted near the patient’s bed creates a monitored zone.
When staff approach the patient:
- the module detects the tag for a defined duration
- the system verifies whether the approach is clean or unclean
- the patient receives a clear visual signal via the tag’s LED
This provides instant transparency for both staff and patients.
3. Automatic dispenser integration
Proximity modules installed near hand-rub or wash stations:
- detect staff presence via LE-UWB
- automatically log dispenser use
- update the staff tag to clean status (green LED) for a configurable time
No manual input. No assumptions.
4. Secure transmission & reporting
All events are transmitted via:
- hospital Wi-Fi
- optional LoRaWAN for dedicated deployments
Data is processed by a web-based platform providing:
- compliance reporting at individual, team, department, and hospital level
- shift-based and time-based analytics
- identification of moments when hygiene opportunities are most often missed
Managing deployment & compliance
Proxigent is designed for easy deployment and low operational overhead. Proxigent supports compliance not only through reporting and configuration, but also through real-time behavioral reinforcement.
In addition to platform-level logic and analytics, the system provides immediate, patient-facing feedback that helps staff self-correct at the point of care.
Key platform capabilities:
Device configuration
manage tags and proximity modules
Map & position management
drag-and-drop placement on floor plans
Connectivity management
gateways and virtual gateways
Rules engine
define alerts, restricted zones, battery thresholds
Event journal
detailed historical records for audits and analysis
Reporting & compliance
custom reports by role, shift, or location
Proxigent supports formal compliance verification and enables consistent, comparable hygiene metrics across departments and facilities.
Built for Healthcare IT
As a hand hygiene compliance technology for Healthcare IT, Proxigent supports:
hospital-wide and multi-site deployments
integration into existing digital infrastructure
compliance verification without operational friction
The system is designed to support staff, not police them — strengthening safety culture instead of undermining it.
Proxigent is designed to help hospitals achieve 90% or higher hand hygiene compliance, with near-100% electronic capture of hygiene events.
Public visibility and patient-facing safety signals
Most hand hygiene compliance systems focus on reporting after the fact. Proxigent makes compliance visible at the point of care.
Each staff member wears a compliance tag with a clear LED indicator:
Green — clean, safe patient approach
Red — not clean, unsafe patient approach
The signal is visible to both staff and patients, providing immediate clarity during patient interaction.
By turning hygiene status into a shared, real-time safety signal, Proxigent supports transparency, self-correction, and trust — strengthening safety culture without adding workflow friction.
This patient-facing visibility complements compliance reporting by reinforcing correct behavior when it matters most.
Dispenser proximity acts as a source of truth for hygiene events, eliminating assumptions and manual declarations.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Proxigent is a hand hygiene compliance technology designed for healthcare IT environments. It helps hospitals improve compliance by combining ultra-precise proximity and distance detection (LE-UWB) with real-time feedback and actionable reporting.
Proxigent uses LE-UWB proximity detection to identify when staff approach patient zones and when they interact with hand hygiene dispensers. All hygiene events are automatically recorded by the system, enabling near-100% event capture without manual input.
Each staff member wears a lightweight compliance tag with an LED indicator.
Green LED indicates a clean and safe patient approach.
Red LED indicates an unclean or unsafe approach.
This provides instant, non-intrusive feedback at the moment of interaction.
No. Proxigent is designed to support existing workflows, not disrupt them. The system works automatically in the background and does not require additional steps from healthcare staff beyond standard hand hygiene procedures.
Proxigent delivers actionable compliance data at multiple levels, including:
individual staff members
teams and departments
shifts and time periods
hospital-wide compliance
Reports highlight compliance rates as well as moments when hygiene opportunities are most often missed.
Proxigent is designed for fast deployment and scalability.
Proximity modules are installed near patient beds and dispensers, while staff tags are assigned and configured through a web-based management platform. The system can operate using existing hospital Wi-Fi infrastructure.
Proxigent is a low-maintenance solution.
Staff tags use long-life batteries and do not require regular charging. Routine maintenance does not require continuous involvement from hospital IT teams.
Yes. Proxigent is built for hospital-scale and multi-site deployments, supporting high-density clinical environments and centralized compliance reporting across departments and facilities.
Proxigent provides infection prevention teams with objective, real-time compliance data and transparent reporting, enabling them to improve safety culture, identify risk patterns, and support quality improvement initiatives.

Beyond healthcare
Proxigent technology can be extended to other compliance and facility-management scenarios beyond healthcare.
The same proximity-based logic and real-time feedback can support transparency and accountability in environments where safety, hygiene, or procedural compliance is critical.
