GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ Service Alerts and GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ Hand Hygiene Solutions
GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ Service Alerts is an Internet of Things solution designed to provide a healthcare facility's staff with real-time monitoring of refill status, battery life, communication and dispenser status for GOJO dispensers.

The solution works by collecting usage and status data for each GOJO-monitored device. GOJO technology then collates this information and sends not only real-time updates, but also predicts when a dispenser will need to be refilled via web portal, email or mobile device.

The GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ Service Alerts product is the newest addition to the GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ solution. Other components include:

• GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ Activity Monitoring System monitors and measures hand hygiene of everyone on a group level, providing real-time actionable data by facility, floor, unit or room.
• GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ Integrated Technology integrates with all leading Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS) providers and stand-alone, person-specific hand hygiene monitoring systems and provides hand hygiene compliance at an individual level by communicating with employee badges.
• GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ Clinician-Based Support provides GOJO clinicians who become part of the hospital's infection prevention team and provide customized implementation, on-site audits, setup, baseline measurements and detailed improvement plans.
• GOJO^® SMARTLINK™ Observation System is a mobile application and accompanying web-based software that facilitates the collection and collation of hand hygiene and personal protective equipment metrics.
