Hand scanner: a revolutionary tool

This hand scanner is a revolutionary tool that has come to change the way hand hygiene is assessed in hospitals and health centers in Castilla y León. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, it is possible to verify whether hands are correctly sanitized in a matter of seconds.

It shows us the percentage that we have obtained and which of the steps that I have carried out before I have to insist on to ensure correct hand hygiene,” explains Laura Muñoz, a nurse in Preventive Medicine at the Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid.
