ivWatch, LLC

ivWatch, LLC is a medical biosensor technology company specializing in continuous intravenous (IV) infiltration and extravasation detection systems. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, the company has developed the first FDA-cleared continuous IV site monitoring solution using advanced optical sensors and predictive algorithms. The ivWatch Monitoring System features SmartTouch sensors that provide real-time alerts to clinical staff when peripheral IV infiltrations occur, enabling early intervention before visible harm develops. The system has been designed for use across diverse patient populations, including neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients requiring IV therapy. With five FDA 510(k) clearances and regulatory authorizations in the UK, Canada, and Australia, ivWatch has monitored over 300,000 patients and holds nearly 70 patents. The platform reduces negative patient events, improves clinical response times, enhances workflow efficiency, and decreases liability associated with IV therapy complications.
