Biovigil Hygiene Technologies is beginning to gain traction thanks to seven-figures worth of seed capital and eight new hires over the last year.
The Ann Arbor-based company secured $5 million in a Series A round in 2010 led by Ann Arbor's
RSVP Capital. That seed capital allowed it to hire eight people over the last year. It now has a staff of 12.
Biovigil Hygiene Technologies is developing an integrated hand sanitizing system. Its technology utilizes a room sensor, a base station, and a badge similar to a standard identification badge. The system is designed to detect and monitor hand washing and automatically communicate compliance information to base stations located within the facility and securely forward data to an internet cloud host for compliance reporting and application functions.
"We use a lot of Ann Arbor- and automotive-based manufacturers to build the product," says Brent Nibarger, chief client officer at Biovigil Hygiene Technologies.
Biovigil Hygiene Technologies spent the last year getting the first generation of this technology off the ground. Nibarger expects to begin commercializing it this year.
