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.

1. 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.
2. The MedSense Beacon
The 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 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.
4. 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.
The MedSense HQ
MedSense HQ, General Sensing’s cloud-based web application, is what
ties all four devices together.

Using the MedSense Badge
The Badge will automatically upload data to MedSense HQ when in range
of a Base. The Badge will vibrate as a reminder to perform hand hygiene
when an opportunity is about to be missed.
The battery life is approximately one work week and should be swapped
out when a low battery indicator is shown. When outside of the
MedSense-equipped areas, the Badge goes into standby mode.
