Hand-in-Scan is a Hungarian healthcare technology company specializing in AI-powered hand hygiene training. The company has developed the Semmelweis Scanner, the world’s first evidence-based hand hygiene training system that objectively measures hand disinfection technique, helping healthcare organizations reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). By combining patented imaging technology, artificial intelligence, and advanced analytics, Hand-in-Scan enables hospitals, clinics, and healthcare institutions to transform hand hygiene from a compliance activity into a measurable quality improvement program. Hospitals using the system benefit from scalable training, standardized assessment, and actionable insights that help lower infection risks and enhance patient outcomes. The company collaborates with leading healthcare institutions and infection prevention experts to advance best practices in hand hygiene, reinforcing its mission to reduce the spread of infectious diseases through intelligent technology and evidence-based education.
Product
Semmelweis Scanner: It provides a fully contactless, 30-second hand scanning process. Users apply a fluorescent training gel before inserting their hands into the Semmelweis Scanner, where high-resolution imaging and AI algorithms identify missed areas, detect anomalies such as jewelry, and generate a personalized hand hygiene score with immediate visual feedback. Results are automatically stored in a centralized reporting platform, allowing infection prevention teams to monitor performance trends, benchmark departments, and demonstrate continuous improvement through real-time dashboards.
Advantages
Patented and Innovative Technology: Hand-in-Scan combines patented imaging technology, UV fluorescence, and AI algorithms, making it one of the few solutions capable of objectively measuring hand hygiene quality rather than relying solely on observation.
Objective Hand Hygiene Assessment: Unlike traditional visual observation, the Semmelweis Scanner™ provides precise, quantitative measurement of hand coverage, eliminating human subjectivity and ensuring consistent evaluation.
Evidence-Based Training- Built on validated scientific methodologies, the platform supports continuous learning through personalized training, leading to long-term improvement in hand hygiene practices.
Supports Infection Prevention Programs: By improving hand hygiene quality rather than simply monitoring compliance, the solution contributes to reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), improving patient safety, and enhancing quality of care.
Regulatory and Accreditation Support: The detailed records and performance reports help healthcare organizations demonstrate compliance with infection prevention standards and accreditation requirements.
