AUVS / Soapy Care Announce Collaboration to Help Facilities Address Most Pressing Infection Prevention Needs
A Unified Approach to Hand Hygiene and Mobile Device Disinfection
Hand hygiene is universally recognized—and rightly so—as the frontline defense against infection. Institutions like the CDC and WHO cite it as essential. Yet, even the most rigorous protocols can be compromised when healthcare professionals touch contaminated items like phones, tablets, keyboards, or handheld devices immediately after handwashing.
Conversely, the most thorough device and surface disinfection efforts fall short without proper hand hygiene.
To overcome this challenge, AUVS is proud to partner with Soapy Care, an innovator in intelligent hand hygiene systems. Together, we’re combining the power of environmental decontamination via patented UV-C technology with behavior-driven, data-enhanced hand hygiene compliance.
​​
This integration of Soapy’s smart handwashing stations and analytics platform with AUVS’ validated UV-C enclosures creates a multi-layered, coordinated infection control strategy. The result: a safer, more reliable defense against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
​
We call it Hand Hygiene Plusâ„ —a unified initiative designed to help healthcare facilities tackle both environmental contamination and human behavior simultaneously.
​
We encourage all healthcare organizations to adopt this coordinated approach today.
