This study examined the effectiveness of digital educational media in improving hospital waste management and reducing nosocomial infections. We developed the WM Health Solutions mobile application to provide real-time waste management education, hygiene reminders, and compliance tracking in hospitals. This can patch improper waste disposal poses health and environmental risks. We used the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE) model. The study assessed the impact of digital learning on hospital waste practices. Because nosocomial infections are linked to poor waste handling, implementing WM Health Solutions in three hospitals led to a notable reduction in infection rates. Qualitative analysis showed that participants found digital education engaging and accessible, making waste management training more effective. Because traditional methods may not suit busy healthcare settings, mobile-based learning ensures continuous access to vital hygiene protocols. This study confirms that digital education can enhance hospital waste management, ensuring safer environments and better compliance with waste disposal regulations. © 2025 Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
