Summary
In this episode of NGBiLab, Jim Wilson speaks with HygenX.AI co-founder and CTO Kris Rupay about a company that started in a garage during the pandemic and was originally founded to help restore confidence in air travel. What began as a UV disinfection robot for airplane aisles evolved into a potentially life-saving technology now being deployed in hospitals across North America.
The team at HygenX.AI have developed an autonomous AI-driven robotic UV disinfection technology that is designed to make healthcare spaces safer, faster, and cleaner. Their robot, RAY, can disinfect a patient room in minutes rather than hours, while generating a real-time digital map of exactly what has been treated.
Kris also talks about the challenges of pivoting from aviation to healthcare, the steep learning curve of building a medtech company without having a background in healthcare, and why he believes hospital-acquired infections are one of the most underreported public health crises in the world.
