1. An apparatus for dispensing sanitizer fluid and recording data pertaining to hand sanitization, comprising: a sanitizer dispensing device adapted for mounting to a door;a cartridge disposed within the sanitizer dispensing device and adapted to contain sanitizer fluid;a sanitizer trigger coupled to the cartridge, and adapted to dispense said sanitizer fluid from the cartridge when activated; andan electronic control circuit coupled to the sanitizer trigger, wherein the electronic control circuit includes a circuit board including electronic memory and a processor connected to a power source,wherein the sanitizer trigger is further adapted to cause the electronic control circuit to record data pertaining to at least one recording event, andwherein the sanitizer dispensing device includes one of a pull door handle, push door device, or turn door handle. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one recording event includes at least one of sanitizer dispensation, door opening, current level of sanitizer remaining in the cartridge, cartridge insertion, or cartridge removal. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the electronic control circuit recognises a change in capacitance and sends a signal to the processor indicating the recording event which is recorded in the electronic memory. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a switch to indicate the presence of a sanitizer cartridge within the apparatus. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a switch to indicate the movement of the sanitizer trigger. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an electromechanical sensing apparatus used to sense a hand on at least one of the sanitizer dispensing device or a capacitive push plate mounted to the door. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a control circuit and at least one of a near field communication electronic chip or a Bluetooth device. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least one of a speaker or a visual display. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sanitizer dispensing device is a turn door handle adapted for mounting to the door. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein turning the turn door handle causes the control circuit to transmit data pertaining to the at least one recording event. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the data or recording event is transmitted wirelessly. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the data or recording event is transmitted to at least one of a computer, a personal digital assistant, Ipad, or a smartphone. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one recording event is indicated by at least one of an auditory alarm or a visual alarm. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sanitizer dispensing device is a pull door handle adapted for mounting to the door. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein pulling the pull door handle causes the control circuit to transmit data pertaining to the at least one recording event. 16. A method for dispensing sanitizer fluid from a sanitizer dispensing device mounted to a door and recording data pertaining to hand sanitization, wherein the sanitizer dispensing device includes a cartridge adapted to contain sanitizer fluid and disposed within the sanitizer dispensing device, and wherein the sanitizer dispensing device includes one of a pull door handle, push door device, or turn door handle, a sanitizer trigger coupled to the cartridge, and an electronic control circuit coupled to the sanitizer trigger, wherein the electronic control circuit includes a circuit board including electronic memory and a processor connected to a power source, the method comprising: recognizing a door opening event;recording, in the electronic memory, the door opening event;dispensing sanitizer fluid from the cartridge when the sanitizer trigger is activated; andrecording, in the electronic memory, the dispensation of said sanitizer fluid as a sanitization event. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein recognizing the door opening event is determined by at least one of a change in capacitance when the sanitizer dispensing device is touched, or a change in capacitance when a capacitive push plate mounted to the door is touched, or when the door is opened. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the door is maintained shut by at least one of an electrically actuated latch, a magnetic circuit, or an electronic circuit, and wherein a signal associated with the sanitization event is sent to the at least one electrically actuated latch, magnetic circuit, or electronic circuit allowing the door to be opened. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein the electronic control circuit further records other data including at least one of a current level of sanitizer remaining in the cartridge, a cartridge fitted event, or a cartridge removed event. 20. The method of claim 16, wherein the recorded data is transmitted to at least one of a computer, a personal digital assistant, Ipad, or a smartphone.
