Common Pain Points:

  • • Hygiene inspections are time-consuming
  • • Sterilization monitoring is fragmented
  • • Environmental cleaning tracking is manual
  • • Compliance verification is difficult
  • • No real-time visibility into infection control
  • • Difficult to ensure compliance across departments
