We are excited to share some wonderful news—our team has been selected to present at the 8th International Conference on Prevention & Infection Control (ICPIC), taking place 16–19 September 2025 in Geneva, Switzerland!
What is ICPIC?
ICPIC is International Conference on Prevention & Infection Control. Since its founding, it has become one of the world’s leading gatherings for infection prevention, control, and innovation. The conference attracts experts, scientists, healthcare professionals, and innovators from around the world. It is a unique forum to exchange knowledge and experience in the field of preventing healthcare associated infections and control of antimicrobial resistance. Ultimate goal of these efforts is to improve patient and healthcare worker safety, worldwide.
We are honored to be included in this dynamic, international community of professionals who change the world.
What We’ll Be Presenting
We will share two highlights of our work at ICPIC 2025:
- Our Research Presentation
Our study, Inclusive Innovation: Using a Music-Based App to Improve Hand Hygiene in Students with Disabilities, will be presented during the scientific sessions. This research highlights the impact of our Bubble Beats Hand Hygiene Trainer (BBT/HHT)—an interactive, music-based game designed to teach and reinforce proper handwashing technique. While we’ve studied its effects in both general student populations and health academies, the focus of this work is on students with disabilities preparing for life and work readiness.
If you are interested to find out what our results show – come to the conference, or tune in virtually.

Bubble Beats Trainer Handwashing App
The Bubble Beats Hand Hygiene Trainer is a fun, music-driven digital game that guides players through each step of proper handwashing and helps them develop better handwashing habit. It transforms a simple hygiene task into an engaging, skill-building experience. That is especially valuable for students with disabilities who overall love this type of interactive, accessible approaches to learning.
Visiting Geneva
We couldn’t imagine a better place than Geneva for this gathering of innovators. Did you know that:
- Geneva is home to the United Nations and the World Health Organization, making it a global hub for health and diplomacy.
- The city sits on the shores of stunning Lake Geneva, with the Alps just a short distance away.
- It’s famous for its Jet d’Eau fountain, fine chocolate, and beautiful old town filled with history and culture.
We hope you can join us at ICPIC 2025.
ICPIC is more than a conference—it’s a hub for collaboration, discovery, and shaping the future of infection prevention and control.
Again, we are honored to bring our research, share our app, and connect with colleagues from around the world.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Geneva soon!
