Digital health start-up GWA wins new investor
The start-up is developing a monitoring system to digitally check hospital hygiene. It has now gained the medical and safety technology manufacturer Drägerwerk as a new partner.
The digital health start-up GWA Hygiene has gained a well-known investor in the form of its new partner Drägerwerk. The exact amount of the investment is not known. In addition to Dräger, MIG Fonds also has a stake in the Stralsund-based company.
GWA intends to invest the fresh capital from Dräger not only in product development but also in the internationalization of the company. The first pilot projects with partners in other European countries are already underway.
Tobias Gebhardt and his team founded the start-up in 2015 and GWA now employs 30 people. The IoT system NosoEx developed by the company is designed to help prevent infections in hospitals and care homes. The monitoring system uses sensors to monitor how thoroughly staff disinfect their hands. The data can be used to determine where staff training is needed in the area of hygiene. The aim is to improve work processes and guarantee patient safety.
