AI-driven IoT system predicting hospital outbreaks via environmental sensors and EHR integration. Targets 35% reduction in ICU infections through automated sterilization and real-time risk analytics for infection control teams.
Hospital-acquired infections cost $28B annually and endanger 1.7M patients. InfecTrack combines predictive AI with smart sterilization to transform reactive infection control. This IoT solution analyzes 14 pathogen risk factors in real-time, enabling hospitals to prevent outbreaks before symptomatic spread.
Core Functionality
Network of HIPAA-compliant sensors tracking airborne pathogens/CO₂ levels + surface swab analytics. Integrates with EHR systems to correlate environmental data with patient vulnerability scores. Proprietary ML models trigger UV sterilization robots when infection risk exceeds 18% probability threshold.
