UltraClean, an Israeli company, is claiming it has a new solution for hand-drying: An automatic non-touch cotton towel dispenser, with a self-laundering system inside, meaning the towel never needs to be replaced. The system will soon be introduced in Europe.

Israeli startup company, Hyginex, has developed a simple system to reduce healthcare risks in hospitals: Digital bracelets that work alongside sensor-embedded soap dispensers to detect if medical staff washed their hands properly.
