smartTOUCH Medical

SmartTouch Medical was a healthcare technology company focused on improving patient safety through automated monitoring systems. The company developed proprietary technology to track hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers and to prevent retained surgical items by monitoring the use of surgical sponges and instruments. Their platform utilized wearable sensors and networked devices to provide real-time feedback and objective data to clinical staff and hospital administrators. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, SmartTouch Medical aimed to reduce hospital-acquired infections and surgical errors using integrated digital health solutions. The company was supported by regional venture capital but has since ceased operations.
