A method of securing sensitive data and hygiene compliance data may include receiving a first input and determining whether the first input is associated with a cleaning instance of one or more portions of a computing device. Based at least in part on the first input is not associated with a cleaning instance, the method may further include transmitting first data to a first computing system via a first communication channel. Based at least in part on the first input is associated with a cleaning instance, the method may further include transmitting second data to a second computing system via a second communication channel different from the first communication channel.

Hygiene compliance data channel

This invention relates generally to electromagnetic transducers, and more specifically, to devices that convert the mechanical vibrations of a magnetically permeable object, such as a ferromagnetic instrument string, into an electrical signal using electromagnetism. In one embodiment, the invention includes a core, the core being magnetically susceptible, the core including opposing ends that are in close proximity to each other to define a gap, the gap configurable to receive a portion of at least one string, the at least one string being magnetically susceptible; a magnet, the magnet configurable to being disposed proximate to the at least one string and configurable to transfer magnetic flux to the at least one string, the magnetic flux from the at least one string being transferable to the core through the opposing ends; and a coil, the coil being disposed about the core, the coil being configurable to produce current in response to the magnetic flux from the core, wherein mechanical vibration of the at least one string produces a vibration of the magnetic flux in the core that induces current in the coil.
