WISEWATER

Description

WISEWATER is the world’s first field‑deployable platform capable of detecting aggregate‑bound pathogens and antibiotic‑resistant bacteria (ARB) in water within hours, directly on‑site. Built on Fluidion’s WHO‑verified ALERT microbiological analyzers and e‑CHEM chemical analyzers, it captures the “invisible iceberg” of waterborne threats that standard laboratory methods systematically miss — including treatment‑resistant bacteria shielded inside fecal aggregates. These aggregates are abundant in waters contaminated by untreated sewage, yet remain undetected by conventional microbiology, leading to severe underestimation of public health risks. WISEWATER’s patented whole‑sample assay quantifies both free‑floating and aggregate‑bound bacteria, while parallel‑channel testing determines ARB resistance to multiple antibiotic classes — all without the delays, costs, and logistical burdens of laboratory testing. On‑site treatment efficacy checks enable major cost reductions for water potabilization processes, while ensuring complete pathogen removal, in both urban treatment plants and point-of-use emergency systems. When paired with portable chemical analysis and multi‑channel IoT connectivity (cellular/satellite), WISEWATER forms the first truly global, real‑time water safety intelligence network. Already piloted by UNICEF in three low‑resource countries (270 units), deployed as the sole independent real‑time microbiological monitoring provider for the Paris 2024 Olympics, and operationally used by major utilities and regulators, WISEWATER is validated and ready for scale‑up. Addressing a €6.5 billion global market, driven by tightening EU regulations, climate‑driven contamination risks, and major Global South programmes like India’s €2 billion Jal Jeevan Mission (serving 600 million people), WISEWATER shifts water safety from slow, reactive lab testing to proactive, real‑time intelligence — saving lives, optimising treatment, and empowering communities worldwide.
