ABOUT US
NEX — from nexus (Latin, n.):
a connection or series of connections linking things together.
NEX —
from nexus (Latin, n.)
A connection or series of connections linking things together.
That idea sits at the heart of what we do. Infections do not move through hospitals at random. They move through people, places, and across surfaces over time.
NEX helps hospitals understand those connections earlier, so teams can act faster and prevent avoidable harm.
WHY NEX BEGAN
Born from the Pandemic
Born from the Pandemic
NEX began during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when hospitals were in critical need of protecting patients from acquiring infections in healthcare.
Our insight was simple: infections do not spread at random. They move through connections between people and places over time.
We built NEX to help hospitals see those connections clearly and ahead of time.
our vission
A world where no one loses life to a preventable healthcare-associated infection.
A world where no one loses life to a preventable healthcare-associated infection.
Our vision is a future where healthcare systems have intelligence that can see infections early, enabling them to act early and prevent infections wherever possible.
OUR MISSION
Delivering actionable intelligence to detect, contain and prevent infections.
Delivering actionable intelligence to detect, contain and prevent infections.
NEX exists to help infection prevention, microbiology, and clinical teams move from reactive surveillance to proactive prevention.
We do this by creating intelligence systems that help hospital teams track infection risks, forecast emerging threats, and prevent avoidable transmission.
2023
NEX Founded
Clinical research validated the technology, leading to the founding of NEX out of Imperial College London.

OUR PRINCIPLES
We Hold Ourselves to High Standards
We Hold Ourselves to High Standards
Three principles shape how we work with clinical teams, build technology, and make decisions.
Empathy
We design with people in mind. Whether it’s frontline clinicians, Infection Prevention & Control teams, or patients, they shape our designs and innovations. We build through close collaboration, listening first and solving practical needs.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to the highest standards. From scientific rigour to system reliability, we take pride in delivering solutions that are trusted, validated and built to perform in critical environments.
Innovation
We challenge the status quo. We push the boundaries of technology to solve urgent problems in infection prevention and control, delivering tools that are intelligent, practical, and future-ready.
