Our Story
Vironix was formed by a group of passionate scientists, physicians,
technologists, and entrepreneurs who have amassed decades of research,
development, and commercialization expertise in machine-learned
applications, respiratory & cardiovascular disease patient care, and
consumer health technologies. The team of long-time collaborators was
spurred to action when the novel Coronavirus spread across the globe
leaving unparalleled infection, death, and economic destruction in its
wake. Vironix’s core members knew that their collective understanding
of chronic/viral disease progression and patient engagement
technologies could produce healthcare solutions that would help to
quell infection spread and improve wellness in businesses, schools,
and hospitals around the world.
Vironix’s AI technology can potentially save lives by early detection
and intervention on Heart Failure, COPD, Asthma, and Acute Respiratory
illnesses.
