Étienne Lemieux and Dominic Carrier met in university, where they turned their doctoral research into a thriving business. Their goal is to become a global leader in Legionella monitoring, starting with the North American market.

Legionella, a bacterium causing severe pneumonia, thrives in water systems like cooling towers and plumbing networks. Inhalation of contaminated water droplets can lead to Legionnaires' disease, prompting factory, office, and shopping center closures each year—posing health risks, financial losses, and major disruptions.

BioAlert addresses this issue with a fully automated monitoring solution that provides real-time oversight of at-risk equipment. By enabling early detection and proactive management, BioAlert helps businesses reduce risks, protect public health, and avoid costly shutdowns.
