Abstract
A system includes a bed zone boundary module and a user interface device (UID) control module. The bed zone boundary module is configured to detect when at least one of a first wearable dispenser assembly and an identification badge is within a boundary of a zone around a bed, and generate a sanitize reminder signal when at least one of the first wearable dispenser assembly and the identification badge is within the zone boundary. The UID control module is configured to, in response to the sanitize reminder signal, control a user interface device to generate a message reminding a person wearing at least one of the first wearable dispenser assembly and the identification badge to use hand sanitizer before approaching a patient in the bed.
