Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comThe past two years have witnessed rapid innovations in infection control and decontamination practices, accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis. From UVC touch free-technology that can eliminate microorganisms inside every nook and cranny to electronic hand hygiene monitoring systems that maintain healthcare workers' compliance with hand hygiene practices, technology is making considerable strides in infection prevention practices. In light of these trends, the global infection control market size, valued at $201.4 billion in 2021, is expected to reach $52.7 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 3.4 percent.This growth is primarily driven by the increasing adoption of hand hygiene monitoring systems. Using electronic monitoring, sensors, and voice prompts, these systems communicate with the healthcare workers and remind them to sanitize as soon as they walk out of a patient's room. Some of these monitoring systems allow users to customize the audio file reminder with their preferred voice and content. The hand hygiene monitoring system enables hospitals to monitor compliance and potential viral exposure. To put the spotlight on such key developments in the industry, Healthcare Tech Outlook illustrates how hospitals are leveraging the latest infection control solutions. This edition also features thought leadership articles from industry experts on ongoing trends, best practices, and recent innovations.
