A door handle with a built-in sanitizer dispenser boosted a hospital's sanitization rates
In a place where people go to treat their illnesses and recover, the spread of germs is highly prevalent. One in 25 patients in U.S. hospitals acquires an infection during their stay in the hospital, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but getting hospital workers to sanitize regularly has been a tough endeavor. To mitigate the bacteria problem, the British studio Agency of Design for Altitude Medical, created “PullClean,” a door handle that dispenses hand sanitizer when pushed.
