Clean design for clean hands

Getting people to break habits is a tough task, especially when they are not aware of them. It requires clear public health guidelines as well as new approaches to hygiene in public spaces.

Our solution is called Sanit.

A column with an embedded function that responds to market developments over the past few years and the needs of people in the public space. Simple in design, created by David Karásek and Michael Tomalik, it is unobtrusive and blends in with the environment. Sanit is ideal for places with higher concentrations of people, such as public buildings, schools, libraries, hotels, as well as offices, concert halls and sports venues. The sensor sanitiser guarantees up to 30,000 cycles per set of batteries.

Did you know that:

Researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney found that, on average, people touch their faces almost 69 times per hour. The study analysed video recordings of medical students during lectures. Despite having completed an infection control course that covered proper hygiene and precautions against transmission, the research showed that students frequently touched their faces, highlighting the fact that even highly-educated, future doctors are only human. It is certainly not possible or necessary to wash your hands after every touch. In places with higher concentrations of people, it is also a good idea to offer more hygiene options.

On the other hand, a US-based Gallup survey focused on how many people wash their hands or use hand sanitiser five or more times a day. The percentage ranges from a high of 94% in Denmark and Norway to a low of 24% in Senegal.
