Detect hospital infection transmission in real time
NGD combines automated whole-genome sequencing with actionable infection intelligence—helping hospital teams identify transmission earlier and intervene with confidence.
THE PROBLEM
Most hospital transmission remains invisible to traditional surveillance
Without genomic evidence, genuine transmission can continue undetected while unrelated cases trigger unnecessary investigations.
Up to 90%
of hospital transmission may go undetected by traditional surveillance
Fewer than 10%
of suspected outbreaks may prove genetically linked
THE SOLUTION
Detect transmission earlier.
Act faster.
NGD Infection Prevention gives you real-time visibility into how infections spread within your hospital.
By combining automated sequencing (NGD200) with advanced analytics (NGD EpiAssist), you can:
Identify previously undetected transmission
Distinguish linked infections from unrelated cases
Give Infection Prevention teams evidence they can act on

OUTCOMES
Measurable impact on patient safety and hospital performance
By detecting transmission earlier and distinguishing genuine links from unrelated cases, NGD helps hospitals improve patient outcomes while protecting capacity and resources.
Prevent more HAIs
Intervene earlier to reduce preventable transmission.
Reduce avoidable costs
Focus resources on genetically confirmed transmission.
Protect bed capacity
Avoid excess bed-days and improve capacity.
Act with confidence
Replace assumptions with direct genomic evidence.
NGD technology has been developed and evaluated with leading healthcare and research organisations
