Turning Mysteries Into Measurable Solutions
Airborne dangers are often invisible and difficult to detect, as highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite significant efforts and resources, especially in healthcare, current methods to mitigate airborne risks are often complex, resource-heavy, and insufficient.

A Better Way To Monitor Air Quality
Our goal is to create a management tool to enhance safety and optimize operations through autonomous, real-time air quality monitoring, tracking, and management.
Recognizing the finite number of pathogens and toxins that affect human and animal health, IEQmax provides continuous risk assessment across a wide range of air components. This empowers managers to make informed decisions and implement optimal solutions for safer and more efficient environments.
