About ivWatch

IV insertion is the most common hospital procedure, yet up to 50% of them fail, often with severe consequences ranging from dosing errors, scarring, skin staining, nerve damage, amputation, and even death. Newport News, Virginia-based ivWatch is changing that.

Founded in 2010 and holding nearly 70 patents and counting, the company has developed a first-of-its-kind Class II medical device, cleared by the FDA and CE-marked, that uses visible and near-infrared light and a predictive algorithm to continuously monitor peripheral IVs to aid in the early detection of IV leakage events, also known as infiltration and extravasation. 

Applied to the skin at the IV site, ivWatch sensors perform over 18,000 checks per hour for signs of IV infiltration and extravasation, notifying healthcare workers of fluid leakage outside of the vein in real time to reduce severe adverse outcomes. 

In 2024, the company surpassed more than 35 clinical proof bodies. It was also named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list, the Inc. 2024 Best in Business list in the Health Products category, and was recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of its 2024 Best in Business. The company also reached the Top 3 in the 2024 Startup World Cup Grand Finale, from an initial group of over 8,000 global startups. To learn more, visit www.ivwatch.com. 

Nesa: The Virtual Care Operating System That Disappears Into Epic Workflow

NESA provides the only Epic Toolbox-listed virtual care infrastructure that elegantly integrates into existing clinical workflows. Unlike traditional point solutions that add vendor complexity, NESA's ONE platform replaces 3-7 separate contracts with a single, unified system that scales across unlimited use cases—from virtual nursing and telesitting to tele-stroke, NICU, ED triage, and specialist consults.

One Platform. One Integration. Unlimited Workflows.

Built on NVIDIA edge-based AI, NESA Vision One combines computer vision (17+ body joints, object detection, room context) and natural language processing in a single device that sees patient movement, listens to care conversations, and acts instantly—all while maintaining complete data sovereignty within your hospital network. Every camera operates as its own computer, enabling distributed processing that optimizes power consumption while running multiple applications simultaneously.

Clinical-Grade Infrastructure

• 4K high-resolution optics with 360° awareness and 25× optical PTZ
• Real-time AI processing with zero cloud latency—all data stays on-premise
• Direct Epic flowsheet write-back, ADT feeds, and native ECAL/CAL integration
• HIPAA-compliant, NDAA-compliant hardware with built-in redundancy
• Whisper AI for crystal-clear audio capture even in noisy clinical environments

Measurable Impact

Trusted by health systems including Duke, Baylor Scott & White, and UT Health San Antonio:

• Zero-Latency Performance: Real-time fall detection and clinical event monitoring that works even if the hospital network goes down.
• Automated Documentation: AI that captures clinical events and pre-populates notes directly into Epic Hyperspace.
• 4K Dual Verification: A 30% reduction in medication errors by allowing a remote nurse to verify high-risk meds via high-definition video.
• Efficiency Gains: 73.9% of discharge orders are now completed by 10am, compared to a 46.2% baseline.
• Clinical Safety: A 37.5% reduction in falls with injury and an 80% reduction in severe hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI).
• High Adoption: 100% nurse technology adoption rates, with patients reuqesting rooms fitted with Nesa ONE. 

Designed by Clinicians, for Clinicians

Nesa is recognized by Joint Commission surveyors as "the standard that should exist in patient care across all hospitals" and partners with Magnet-designated organizations. The platform is certified to NHS clinical risk management standards (DCB 0129) for international deployment.

Scale your best clinicians across your entire system—without extending vendor contracts, security reviews, or integration backlogs.

Industry leading, Epic Toolbox 2025 and 2026 for Inpatient Virtual Care platform combining edge AI, computer vision, and native workflow integration.

Nesa is not an EHR replacement but the virtual care operating system that disappears inside Epic workflow. As the only inpatient virtual care platform listed in Epic Toolbox, Nesa meets Epic's recommended integration practices with native ECAL/CAL integration, direct flowsheet write-back, and ADT feeds—eliminating middleware and enabling clinicians to deliver virtual care without ever leaving Epic.
