COVID-19 Update
A message to our customers and the
healthcare community,
from Nima Ziraknejad, Ph.D., P.Eng.,
Founder and CEO of NZ Technologies Inc.
First and foremost, I would like to
convey that our thoughts are with all the frontline workers, clinicians, and
essential service providers (and their families) actively working to protect
and support our society through the COVID-19 pandemic. I have been in touch
with our close network of physician advisors and can truly understand the
hardship being faced by these crucial persons in our community.
As we work together to prepare ourselves
for the impact of the pandemic and the ‘new normal’, please be assured that the
health and safety of our employees, customers, and partners are our top
priority. While we are following the guidance of Canadian public health
authorities and monitoring the evolving status on a daily basis, we remain
committed to delivering our products and services without interruption. In
addition to implementing strict workplace protocols that prevent the spread of
the virus, we have put in new measures to optimize our current productivity and
to expand our tech support capabilities to our existing customers in hospitals
(via the NZTech hotline 1-833-MY-TIPSO). Ensuring that our customers and
partners can continue to serve the healthcare community and care for patients
without interruption is of paramount importance.
We also
remain committed to doing what we do best – innovating new technologies to
contribute to improving healthcare and saving lives. While our touchless
interface technology was initially designed for the operating room, we now
envision new applications outside the OR and in many public places with high
touch interfaces – known to be common sources of disease transmission. Imagine
never having to physically touch another elevator button or punch in a code on
a keypad! To this end, we have accelerated our development efforts toward
designing and setting a new standard for public-facing user interfaces –
focused on the prevention of infection transmission and flattening of the
curve. We are devoting the best of our capabilities to combat COVID-19 in the
best way that we can – by innovating for better care.
