Hyginex operates in the Hospitals and Health Care sector with a focus on reducing hospital-acquired infections by improving hand hygiene compliance. Its primary offering is a wearables-based hand hygiene monitoring system that uses wristbands worn by individual staff members to track entries into patient zones and prompt proper hygiene with a vibration alert. The system also records data on the quality and duration of hand hygiene, providing alignment with the WHO Five Moments for Hand Hygiene and aiming to minimize false positives. By delivering verifiable event data, the solution supports hospitals in monitoring adherence and identifying gaps in practice. Based in Los Angeles, California, Hyginex operates as a small player serving hospitals seeking to improve infection prevention through hand hygiene monitoring. The April 2020 news item notes that the company was pursuing activities related to COVID-19 tests, treatments and vaccines during the pandemic.
