To subscribe to MedicalTech OutlookVisit www.medicaltechoutlook.com Alex D'SouzaManaging Editoreditor@medicaltechoutlook.comWhile the risk of cross-contamination and mass infections existed pre-pandemic, today, it is a primary concern across the globe. Throughout 2020, infection preventionists and the healthcare systems they serve have had to manage the stress and burden of the coronavirus as it continues to weigh heavily on healthcare workers at all levels and across all disciplines. In response, many healthcare facilities have adopted mitigation strategies to contend with physical space limitations, constrained availability of personnel, shortages in PPE, and an increase in critically ill patients. Smart hand cleaning systems, UVC disinfection devices, antimicrobial surface coatings, and electrostatic sprayers are some of the many innovations that have emerged last year to facilitate contactless infection control. Since early detection is a key to infection control, researchers are developing smart sensors for quick and instant detection of the infection. For instance, one of the most recent innovations is point-of-care biosensors that can detect coronavirus at its earliest stage. In addition, drone technology will likely be a game-changer in an assisted, symptom-based bulk screening of individuals. Equipped with a computer vision system and specialized sensor, it can monitor respiratory rate, heart rate, and temperature. Even once the coronavirus has been contained, serious infection prevention challenges will remain. To that end, several companies are coming out with new and equitable efforts to eradicate barriers that continue to challenge public health and public safety across the nation.In this edition of MedTech Outlook, we bring you the story of some of the most successful infection control solution providers that are leveraging innovative technologies to facilitate the best outcomes for their clients.
