Problem
Manual contact tracing in hospitals and care homes is labor-intensive, slow, and prone to inaccuracies, leading to delayed infection control measures and increased risk of healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs). Existing methods struggle to identify all potential contacts, especially in dynamic environments, resulting in incomplete data and potential for further pathogen spread. This can lead to increased patient stays, higher costs, and staff absenteeism.
Solution
Proxximos offers a digital contact tracing solution that automates and improves the speed and accuracy of identifying pathogen transmission pathways in healthcare settings. The system utilizes wearable devices integrated into staff pass carriers or patient wristbands to continuously monitor interactions and proximity. This data is used to instantly and automatically identify individuals who have been exposed to a pathogen, enabling rapid implementation of infection control measures. By providing precise exposure data, Proxximos helps reduce the spread of HAIs, minimize manual tracing efforts, and improve overall infection prevention and control.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals and care homes seeking to improve infection prevention and control, reduce the spread of healthcare-acquired infections, and minimize the burden of manual contact tracing on clinical staff.
