Company Summary

We are a healthcare analytics and technology company providing monitoring solutions for the pharmaceutical cold chain. Doctors and researchers lose millions when cold chain products are handled incorrectly, and lives are put at risk. Current monitoring solutions are reactive, providing evidence of cold chain problems after they occur. Our proactive solutions prevent cold chain problems before they occur, saving money, time and lives.
