PURPOSE: A hygiene compliance monitoring system is provided to wirelessly collect hygiene compliance from a dispenser and store the collected data to a portable memory unit interfaced with a remote computing device. CONSTITUTION: A hygiene compliance monitoring system(100) is generally used in connection with a dispenser(120), such as a dispenser that dispenses material, such as soap, sanitizer, moisturizer, and the like. However, it should be appreciated that the hygiene compliance monitoring system is used in association with dispensers used to dispense any suitable material or item. In order to carry out the functions of the hygiene compliance monitoring system, a DCU(Data Collection Unit)(140) is associated with the dispenser to collect hygiene data or events, which may include the number of shots of soap dispensed by the dispenser or the number of hand hygiene events occurring at the dispenser, such that a hand hygiene event may include one or more shots of soap dispensed by the dispenser within a certain dwell time, or period of time. The data acquired by the data collection unit is then wirelessly communicated to a portable DAU(Data Acquisition Unit)(160) when brought in proximity thereto. As such, the data is stored on the DAU in a manner so that it can be later analyzed via the DAU, or the data may be stored on the DAU in such a manner, such that it can be later transferred to another device, such as a computing device, for analysis. |
