Descripción del proyecto
WHO declared Legionella as the highest health burden of all water borne pathogens - even for our developed European countries. There are thousands of infections with mortality rates between 5%-30%. Due to similar symptoms like with pneumonia or with flu (fever, coughing and diarrhoea, shivers, headache and body aches) presumed numbers of unidentified and unregistered cases are estimated to be much higher.
There is no automated and scalable solution on market which allows the continuous monitoring of in-house water quality regarding detection and quantification of legionella. Current solutions are laboratory procedures, e.g. cell cultivation, which are time-consuming, costly and mostly error-prone, e.g. by detecting no viable-but-non-cultivatable infectious legionella cells.
To improve the health safety of all Europeans, including 20 million people currently under concrete health risks, we developed a worldwide unique solution for highly accurate and automated detection and quantification of legionella bacteria in water. Moreover, our system is able to give predictions and warnings already BEFORE critical value is reached, enabling counter measures. LegioDetect is easy to use also for non-experts, data is easy to understand and thus, the system is perfectly scalable for the fast growing market of Legionella monitoring. Our system is intended for owners/operators of rental houses, public buildings or buildings of special interest (e.g. hospitals, hotels, baths or swimming pools), for private households, but also for operators of cooling towers.
