Hygiene tech refers to devices, platforms, or products that adopt technologies like robotics, sensors, ultraviolet radiation, and AI to keep an individual, their surroundings, and food clean, preventing illness and diseases. Compared with conventional hygiene methods (e.g., basic domestic equipment and liquids, which are labor-intensive) these new solutions aim to provide faster, cleaner, and smarter ways to maintain hygiene in various settings. Automation and digitalization have also made hygiene tech cost-effective and transparent for enterprises that would otherwise need to rely on labor-intensive cleaning methods. 

Hygiene tech can be broadly categorized into personal, feminine, food, domestic, and environmental hygiene based on its use case.
