Problem
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a significant risk to patient safety, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and substantial financial penalties for healthcare facilities. Current environmental monitoring methods often lack the sensitivity, specificity, or actionable insights required to proactively identify and mitigate germ transmission pathways. This gap leaves healthcare providers unable to effectively address contamination on surfaces, hindering their ability to prevent outbreaks.
Solution
Culturewell provides a comprehensive environmental monitoring and infection prevention platform designed to detect and quantify viable pathogens on surfaces within healthcare facilities. Leveraging advanced laboratory analysis, the platform identifies a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, and molds with superior detection limits compared to traditional methods like ATP testing. Culturewell delivers germ risk heatmaps and AI-enabled, evidence-based recommendations for remediation, enabling healthcare teams to implement targeted interventions. This data-driven approach supports both rapid outbreak response and the establishment of robust cleaning compliance programs, ultimately reducing HAI risk and improving patient outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary customers are healthcare facilities, including infection prevention departments, environmental services (EVS) teams, quality improvement departments, and facility management.
Features
- Proteomics-enabled environmental sampling and laboratory analysis for broad-spectrum germ identification (bacteria, yeast, mold).
- Industry-leading detection limits (<1 CFU/cm²) to identify low-level contamination on surfaces.
- Germ-agnostic identification process that does not require pre-specification of target pathogens.
- Rapid turnaround time for viable organism identification, with results available as early as 18 hours post-sample receipt.
- Opt-in critical result notifications for immediate alerts on high-risk findings.
- Proprietary AI Germ Risk Algorithm that assigns risk ratings (High, Medium, Low) based on pathogen identification and clinical context.
- Dynamic, digital germ risk heatmaps for visual identification of contamination hotspots.
- Expert-curated, evidence-based recommendations for targeted remediation and cleaning protocols.
- On-site sample collection by trained and credentialed samplers to ensure consistency and control pre-analytical variables.
- Inclusion of aesthetic and potential germ risk gap observations (e.g., damaged fixtures) in reports.
- Online dashboard for near real-time access to results, risk assessments, and recommendations.
- Support for outbreak investigations and disinfection efficacy testing.
