How Zero-Path Works

From configuration to prediction — a system built for hospitals

A cleaning staff member walks into an ICU room. They tap their badge. Zero-Path knows who they are, where they are, and what needs to be done.

The system already checked: Is this a high-risk patient? What protocols apply here? Are there specific pathogens risks in this room? The staff member does the job and each action is validated in real-time.

Behind the scenes, Zero-Path calculates risk constantly. Location factors, patient vulnerability, environmental conditions, time of day. When multiple risk factors align, alerts go to the right people before problems occur.

No complex forms, no manual logs. Just badge tap, follow steps, move on. The system handles the rest.

FOUR CORE PHASES OPERATIONAL
✓ Protocol Config • ✓ Risk Association • ✓ Task Execution • ✓ Risk Assessment

Platform capabilities

Built on proven frameworks, powered by AI, validated in lab environment

⚙️

Guideline framework setup

Initial configuration stage allows hospitals to select their regulatory framework (INSP Romania, ECDC standards, Ministry of Health orders). All protocols trace back to chosen institutional guidelines for audit compliance.

🎨

Visual workflow builder

Visual workflow designer for building hospital-specific infection prevention protocols. Define policies, processes, steps, and risk associations. Built for clinical validation with IPC specialists.

📚

Protocol configuration engine

Simple interface for building infection prevention protocols. Risk-based routing, conditional logic, and real-time validation. With a prebuilt protocol library and a versioning system to allow local cusotmization.

🇪🇺

EU Surveillance integration

57 notifiable diseases from Decision 2018/945 implemented. Case identification and ECDC-compliant reporting workflows ready for deployment.

🎓

Protocols become training

Configured protocols automatically transform into interactive learning content in user accounts. Institutional procedures become structured training courses. Protocol execution = continuous staff education.

📊

Multi-dimensional risk

Context-aware risk scoring: Base RPN weighted by multiple independent risk factors. Adapts to real-world complexity. ICU neutropenic patient = 1800 RPN vs ward stable patient = 120 RPN.

🦠

Pathogen intelligence

50+ hospital-critical organisms (MRSA, VRE, CRE, C. difficile) with transmission routes, PPE requirements, and isolation protocols. Expanding to 150+ based on CDC/WHO priority lists.

📱

Mobile application

Mobile MVP in development (Q1 2026) for cleaning and auxiliary personnel. RFID/NFC badge integration for task tracking and validation. Targeting ICU room cleaning protocols first.

🎯

Quality framework integration

Built on FMEA (RPN calculation) and PDCA cycles hospitals already use. Integrates with existing Lean Six Sigma and Hoshin Kanri programs.

📊

Reporting & Analytics tools

Streamlined report generation for compliance tracking, infection rate analysis, and risk assessment summaries. Export formats compatible with INSP and Ministry of Health requirements.

What makes Zero-Path different

2-3 years technology lead with fundamentally different approach

Traditional systems

  • Reactive surveillance (detect after infection)
  • Complex manual data entry
  • Alert fatigue from generic thresholds
  • Requires new hardware ($100-200/staff)
  • Lengthy implementation (6-12 months)
  • Expensive (€100K+ per year)

Zero-Path approach

  • Proactive risk monitoring (before infections occur)
  • RFID/NFC badge integration (minimal user friction)
  • Context-aware alerts (location + patient + environment)
  • Visual workflow designer (no-code protocol building)
  • Rapid deployment (weeks with protocol configuration)
  • Cost-effective (50-70% lower than international players)

Development roadmap

Clear path from protocol configuration to AI-powered prediction

✓ Complete
Phase 1-4

Foundation

Protocol configuration, risk association, task execution, and comprehensive risk assessment systems fully operational. Visual workflow designer validated.

In progress
Phase 5 - Q1 2026

Human flow pathways + Mobile MVP

Workflow pathway analysis through protocol step execution. Mobile application for cleaning/auxiliary staff. RFID/NFC badge integration for task validation. Starting with ICU room cleaning protocols.

Planned
Phase 6 - Q2 2026

Anomaly detection agent

AI agent using statistical process control to detect infection rate anomalies by department/location. Early outbreak detection.Includes compliance reporting tools and infection trend analysis exports for regulatory submissions.

Planned
Phase 7 - Q3 2026

Patient risk prediction

Machine learning model predicts patient-specific infection risk based on clinical factors, devices, and environmental conditions.

Planned
Phase 8 - Q4 2026

Protocol compliance analyzer

NLP-powered analysis of compliance patterns. Identifies systematic gaps and suggests protocol optimizations.

We're not just planning this.
We've built it.

Four core phases are implemented and operational. The protocol system works.

The risk engine calculates. We're ready for validation.
