1. A hand sanitization system comprising:
- a sanitization unit having;
a proximity detector operatively connected to a housing, the proximity detector operative to determine proximity of a person within a predetermined range with respect to the sanitization unit;
a proximity sensor action counter operatively connected to the proximity detector, the proximity sensor action counter for counting each proximity indication from the proximity detector indicating when the person is within the predetermined range;
a sanitizer action counter operatively connected to a dispenser, the sanitizer action counter for counting each time the dispenser is activated;
an alarm operatively connected to the housing and being operative to provide an indication to the person, the indication corresponding to the person failing to dispense antiseptic solution from the dispenser within a predetermined period of time after moving within the predetermined range of the sanitization unit, wherein the predetermined period of time is adjustable;
an alarm counter operatively connected to the alarm, the alarm counter for counting each time the alarm is activated; and
a processor operatively connected to memory, wherein the processor is configured for receiving one or more properties via a network, wherein the one or more properties modify a behavior of the sanitization unit.

13. A system comprising;
-
one or more hand sanitization units operatively connected to a central computing system via a network connection, each of the one or more hand sanitization units comprising; a proximity detector operatively connected to a sanitizer housing operative to determine proximity of a person with respect to the detector, wherein a range of the proximity detector is adjustable and wherein the sanitizer housing comprises a dispenser operative to dispense antiseptic solution and provide an output signal corresponding to dispensing of the antiseptic solution; an alarm operatively connected to the sanitizer housing operative to provide an indication to the person, the indication corresponding to a first set of properties; a proximity detector action counter operatively connected to the proximity detector, the proximity detector action counter for counting each proximity indication for the proximity detector indicating when the person is within the predetermined range; a sanitizer action counter operatively connected to the dispenser for counting each time the dispenser is activated; an alarm counter operatively connected to the alarm, the alarm counter for counting each time the alarm is activated; a processor operatively connected memory, the memory storing the first set of properties, the first set of properties corresponding to first particular outputs, and wherein each of the one or more hand sanitization units receives a second set of properties from the central computing system via the network connection, the second set of properties for replacing or modifying the first set of properties and corresponding to second particular outputs. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
