Biobot Analytics

What is Biobot Analytics?

Biobot Analytics transforms wastewater data into a comprehensive health intelligence system that tracks infectious diseases, substance use, and other community health indicators. Originating from MIT research, Biobot uses advanced molecular and analytical technologies to provide timely, representative, and accurate data that enables governments, businesses, and researchers to anticipate outbreaks, allocate healthcare resources efficiently, and develop targeted interventions. Its platform supports monitoring of respiratory viruses like COVID-19, influenza, RSV, as well as high-risk substances such as opioids, offering a cost-effective, non-invasive approach to population health surveillance.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Wastewater Surveillance

  Monitors a wide range of biomarkers including infectious pathogens and high-risk substances across communities.

• Early Warning System

  Detects viral surges and substance use trends weeks before clinical cases or hospitalizations rise.

• Representative and Inclusive Data

  Captures health signals from entire populations regardless of healthcare access, providing equitable insights.

• Rapid and Cost-Effective Testing

  Delivers fast turnaround times with scalable sampling methods that reduce the need for costly individual testing.

• Validated and Actionable Insights

  Data correlates strongly with clinical outcomes and supports targeted public health responses and resource allocation.

Use Cases

• Public Health Surveillance : Governments and health agencies track disease outbreaks and substance use patterns to guide policy and interventions.
• Workplace and Campus Safety : Institutions monitor wastewater to detect early signs of infectious diseases and maintain safe environments.
• Harm Reduction Strategies : Communities use data on opioid and other drug use to implement timely and effective overdose prevention measures.
• Research and Development : Researchers leverage longitudinal wastewater data to study disease dynamics and develop new treatments.
