Inventing an IoT Sensor that is repeatedly and cost-effectively analysing multiple biological and chemical targets in wastewater to support personal, population, and environmental health, as well as our national security
Introducing Bio Data Networks
Founded during the Covid-19 pandemic, Bio Data Networks (BDN) is leading a breakthrough in wastewater monitoring. Through the creation of an IoT device, called WIDO (Waste In Data Out), BDN will deliver a product to repeatedly and cost effectively monitor multiple biological and chemical targets in wastewater.
The introduction of WIDO to the market will lead to significantly improved understanding and management of public and personal health, environmental health, and our national security.
WIDO enables the continual monitoring in wastewater of microbial viruses, bacteria, and fungal. It also monitors biomarkers of health, licit and illicit drugs, as well as pollution.
The WIDO IoT sensors are designed to be installed across the wastewater network from treatment plants to strategic sentinel locations within the downstream network, and onwards to near source locations outside and inside properties. The data captured by the WIDO sensors is available in near real-time, constantly.
