Resani

Resani AS is a Norwegian life sciences company established in 2014 by Petter A Mehren, with its headquarters in Oslo and operations in Stavanger. The firm is dedicated to combating healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) by improving hand hygiene compliance within hospitals and other healthcare institutions. Addressing a critical issue that affects millions of patients annually in the EU, Resani's technology aims to reduce infections, mortality rates, and the significant financial burden these infections place on the healthcare system.

The company's core offering is a data-driven system that monitors and quantifies hand hygiene compliance. This is achieved through a combination of an automatic hand sanitizer, disinfection cartridges, and user monitoring technology. Healthcare staff are given electronic ID badges that are detected by sensors placed at key locations, such as hand sanitizer dispensers and patient beds. The system records when a staff member uses a dispenser and when they approach a patient, creating a clear data trail of hygiene events. This data is then visualized and analyzed, providing insights into compliance patterns and enabling targeted improvement campaigns. Screens placed in wards display campaign goals and progress, fostering a collective effort to improve hygiene practices.

Resani operates on a business model centered on providing this technology to the healthcare sector, with potential expansion into other hygiene-critical industries like cruise lines and offshore platforms. The company generates revenue by selling its integrated hardware and software solution, which helps facilities enhance patient safety in a sustainable and measurable way. Since its founding, Resani has secured approximately $1.41 million in funding over three rounds from investors including DSD, TD Veen, and the European Union, with its latest seed round in May 2023.
