4 5How MedSense WorksMedSense 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.1. 2. 3.4.1. The MedSense BadgeThe MedSense Badge, worn like an identity card, collects hand hygiene compliance data as the healthcare worker delivers care around the hospital.2. The MedSense BeaconThe MedSense Beacon is a low-prole, 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.3. The MedSense Dispenser MonitorThe 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.4. The MedSense BaseThe 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. The MedSense HQMedSense HQ, General Sensing’s cloud-based web application, is what ties all four devices together.
