FluxGen Sustainable Technologies, an innovator in AI and IoT-driven industrial water management solutions, has revealed a partnership with Microsoft aimed at enhancing water replenishment efforts at St. Martha’s Hospital in Bangalore and another esteemed multi-specialty hospital in Whitefield, Bangalore.
These non-profit hospitals provide affordable healthcare services, prioritizing the needs of underserved communities. Their fees are lower than those of for-profit facilities, with any surplus funds reinvested to enhance patient care.
This initiative seeks to improve water efficiency and lessen reliance on freshwater sources for non-profit hospitals in the area, contributing to Microsoft’s goal of achieving water positivity by 2030.
“FluxGen is privileged to collaborate with Microsoft on advancing water replenishment,” stated Ganesh Shankar, Founder and CEO of FluxGen.
“This partnership aligns with our mission to conserve a billion liters of water daily. By minimizing the water footprint of these distinguished hospitals, we aim to help them become models of water stewardship. The savings on water and related utility costs can enable them to serve more patients and further their objectives.”
Through this partnership, FluxGen will utilize funding from Microsoft to deploy its comprehensive AI and IoT-based water management solutions across the hospital facilities.
By enhancing current water infrastructure and incorporating new technologies, FluxGen intends to significantly cut water usage, boost water availability within the hospitals, and lower water delivery expenses for these charitable organizations.
By detecting and mitigating leaks, waste, and excessive consumption through sensor fusion, AI, and IoT technologies, FluxGen anticipates a 50% reduction in water usage at each hospital.
“Our partnership with FluxGen and Microsoft is tremendously advantageous for us,” remarked Appachan J. Kuttiyath, Director of St. Martha’s Hospital.
“We look forward to making significant strides in effective water management across our hospital facilities. We hope this initiative will establish a standard for water conservation in hospitals throughout India and positively influence the surrounding communities.”
FluxGen’s solution utilizes Microsoft Azure for secure cloud storage and data analytics.
Additionally, FluxGen has introduced a GenAI-based tool powered by Microsoft technology that provides real-time analytics, predictions, and tailored solutions to enhance water management efficiency based on the facility’s water data, facilitating informed decision-making.
This effort is expected to greatly support the water conservation initiatives of these hospitals in regions facing water scarcity.
“We are thrilled to partner with FluxGen on this significant project as part of our commitment to becoming water positive by 2030,” said Eliza Roberts, Water Lead at Microsoft.
“We are concentrating on five essential pillars to reach this water positive target: decreasing water use intensity, replenishing more water than we consume, enhancing access to water and sanitation services globally, fostering innovation to scale water solutions, and promoting effective water policies.”
Moreover, FluxGen has been recognized as a winner of the Microsoft Entrepreneurs for Positive Impact (EfPI) Cup 2024.
The event, held on March 26, 2024, at the Gustave Eiffel Salon in the Eiffel Tower in collaboration with ChangeNOW, highlighted the five leading innovative solutions that are creating positive social and environmental changes worldwide, as chosen by Microsoft.
