The Intelligent Observation platform includes hardware that detects when healthcare workers are near a hand sanitation area, and records whether the individual sanitizes appropriately. The results are then communicated to Intelligent Observation’s cloud-based dashboard where data is stored and formulated into reports. The platform utilizes SaaS and near-field magnetic induction (NFMI) technology, which enables efficient compliance reporting and tracking for hospital administrators. 

Caduceus and Jumpstart invested in Intelligent Observation more than five years ago. Since that time, the company has grown significantly and is now partnered with a significant number of acute care providers including some of the most well-known names in U.S. healthcare.

“At Caduceus Capital, we’re focused on supporting companies that profoundly relieve administrative burdens and improve care at healthcare organizations. Intelligent Observation is a unique solution that does both. It’s been a privilege to walk alongside Seth and his team for the past several years, and we look forward to watching their continued growth in partnership with HID Global,” said Dave Vreeland, senior managing partner, Caduceus Capital Partners.

“Hand hygiene is recognized as the single most important measure in preventing the spread of infections,” said Vic Gatto, CEO of Jumpstart, “we looked at dozens of approaches and invested in Seth and Intelligent Observation because the product integrates seamlessly into the workflow of the clinicians.”
