Problem
Indoor environments in critical facilities such as hospitals, schools, defense installations, and commercial real estate often rely on HVAC systems that may inadequately control airborne pathogens, leading to infection risk, operational downtime, and higher energy costs.
Solution
SafeTraces offers a data‑driven platform that predicts, detects, and prevents pathogen exposure in real time. The PathogenSentinel™ device continuously samples air at 100 L/min, performs automated qPCR analysis, and reports results through a web dashboard with API integration. Complementary veriDART services provide aerosol tracer testing and verification of ventilation performance, generating actionable analytics that guide system optimization. The integrated analytics platform delivers alerts, trend monitoring, and compliance reporting, enabling facilities to maintain bio‑secure, energy‑efficient indoor air without manual sampling or laboratory turnaround.
Target Audience
Primary customers are facility managers and bio‑security teams in defense and critical infrastructure, healthcare and biopharma institutions, K‑12 and higher‑education campuses, and corporate/commercial real‑estate properties.
