How MedSense Works
MedSense is a combination of four easy-to-use wireless devices that monitor and record
compliance performance at point-of-care areas. These devices take advantage of low-power
wireless communication and the latest web technologies to offer you a simple, powerful, and
accurate hand hygiene compliance monitoring solution.
The MedSense Badge
The MedSense Badge, worn like an identity card, collects hand hygiene compliance data as the
healthcare worker delivers care around the hospital.
The MedSense Beacon
The MedSense Beacon is a low-profile, battery-powered device that is placed above a patient
bed or other point of care with a semi-permanent adhesive backing. The Beacon establishes a
wireless patient zone that allows the Badge to identify hand hygiene opportunities.
The MedSense Dispenser Monitor
The MedSense Dispenser Monitor acts as a holster for sanitizer bottles. When a healthcare
worker uses a sanitizer bottle, the Dispenser Monitor signals the user’s Badge, which in turn
records a hand hygiene action.
The MedSense Base
The MedSense Base functions as a wireless base station through which Badges upload
compliance data to MedSense HQ. The Base also functions as a battery charger for the Badge,
capable of charging up to sixteen Badge batteries to full capacity in two hours.
MedSense HQ
MedSense HQ, General Sensing’s cloud-based web application, is what ties all four devices
together.
