Smart Handwashing Assistants

Hand IQ's Smart Devices Verify Clean Hands in Shared Spaces

— December 3, 2020 — Lifestyle
Hand IQ offers a smart hand washing assistant that was specifically designed to attach to soap dispensers that are included in shared spaces.

With the device, Hand IQ hopes to "improve overall health and wellness in businesses and communities" by verifying that users have properly cleaned their hands. Using Bluetooth technology, the device is able to detect when a person enters a shared space, and uses audio and visual cues to remind them to wash their hands. When users start washing their hands, the device will feature a guide on its 3-inch color screen, which includes a 20 second countdown. Once users have successfully followed the instructions, the smart handwashing assistant will emit a positive message, and reward them with points to gamify the experience
