At BioVigil, everything we do is grounded in protecting people: both the healthcare workers who wear our badges and the patients they care for. Our wearable was designed to help stop the spread of infections, without introducing any risks of its own.
The BioVigil badge uses the same safe, low-energy technology found in everyday wearables like fitness trackers or digital watches. It confirms hand hygiene activity without the use of radiation, long-range wireless signals, or strong magnetic fields. Because it’s worn close to the body, we’ve engineered it to meet the highest global safety standards for electronic and biocompatible devices.
