The potential carriers of infections are everywhere, from the air in the healthcare facility to staff employed in the building. On top of these typical concerns, the spread of COVID-19 has exacerbated the woes of healthcare providers. To this end, hospitals across Europe are taking extra precautions to ensure that medical equipment is properly sanitized in order to maintain a safe environment for their staff as well as the patients. Visibility is the most significant aspect of infection control. It provides a way for healthcare facilities to prevent the spread of infection, increase patient safety and receive non-compliance events, as well as contamination alerts. In this regard, the widespread adoption of IoT technology comes as a boon for the healthcare industry. Healthcare providers can leverage the technology for asset tracking, capacity management, hand hygiene compliance, contact tracing, and environmental monitoring, among others. Besides, data analysis also has vast potential in eliminating the health hazards caused by infections. With an abundance of real-time, historical, location-based, and environmental condition data, healthcare providers can not only save time and valuable resources but also provide a safer environment for staff and patients. There is a wide range of solution providers that offer the latest methods best suited for the next generation of infection control needs. To help leaders navigate through the list of infection control solution providers, our panel comprising of CEOs, CIOs, VCs, industry analysts, and the editorial board of MedTech Outlook has narrowed down the top companies in this landscape that exhibit excellence in delivering robust infection control innovations in the Europe region. Equipped with innovative technological capabilities, these enlisted firms are transforming the healthcare industry with various disruptive technologies. We hope this issue of MedTech Outlook helps you build the partnership you and your organisation need to foster an environment driven by robust and efficient technology.
