The Healthcare Challenge

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) cost US hospitals $28-45 billion annually. A San Antonio hospital needed a solution for their medical units.

The UV-C Solution

TXROBO S100 robots equipped with medical-grade UV-C sterilization provided autonomous disinfection of patient rooms during night hours.

The Results

  • HAI rate reduction: 65%
  • Patient safety improvement: Significant
  • Staff infection exposure: -72%
  • Hospital satisfaction: +28%
  • Cost savings from HAI prevention: $156,000 annually
  • ROI achieved in 3 months

Compliance and Certification

The robots met all healthcare standards and were certified for medical-grade disinfection. They operated silently during night hours, never disturbing patients.

The Bottom Line

Beyond cost savings, the real benefit was patient safety improvement and staff peace of mind knowing rooms were medically sterilized.
