Product name: PathoWatch™
DataPond tackles the growing challenge of surface water contamination with its revolutionary real-time bio-contamination detection system, PathoWatch™. Traditional water testing is slow (taking 1-3 days for lab results), expensive, and limits testing frequency, forcing authorities to be reactive. PathoWatch™ solves this by using advanced machine learning to analyze basic water metrics (temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity) from existing, low-cost sensors (PathoWatch In Situ™) or satellite imagery (PathoWatch Remote™). By accurately identifying microbial risks like E. coli without requiring new specialized hardware, DataPond enables proactive, affordable, and scalable water safety monitoring for rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. The company is backed by researchers from Tel-Aviv University and experienced tech entrepreneurs.
