This question can only be answered if you know what HAI are…

Generally, conversations surrounding hospital visits are intertwined with concerns about ‘superbugs’ and diseases that spread easily in environments saturated with sick people. This is due to the prevalence of HAI or Hospital Acquired Infections.

The CDC notes the various types of HAI that circulate in patient-concentrated environments. These include: ‘central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia and surgery site infections’. More details on each category can be ,,accessed here.

HAI, therefore, affect and adversely influence multiple areas of patient health. These patients are usually already at risk and susceptible to infection, making HAI a potent problem in the medical field.

The following ,,infographic from the WHO effectively conveys the seriousness of this situation.

We have found that implementing single-use disposable thermometers significantly reduces the risk of HAI as it minimizes the exchange of germs between different patients. This is increasingly relevant in the climate of COVID-19, as thermometers remain one of the few pieces of medical equipment still being shared between patients. Preventing sick patients from further exposure should be prioritised as it is counterproductive to healthcare and resource allocation. We aim to transform this area with our one patient- one thermometer mind-set.
