Company Summary
Zinnia produces medical device systems that monitor individuals for suicide attempts in custodial settings, where suicides occur more frequently than in the general public. Psychiatric hospitals and jails bear large operating, regulatory, and liability expenses to address suicide. Our system will reduce the consequences of suicide, including injury, disability, and death; thereby reducing the institutional costs.
