Intelliguard was built on a commitment to the evolution of healthcare technology, a more satisfying healthcare provider experience, and unrivaled patient safety.
What began as a line of safety syringes evolved into a more pronounced presence in medical device manufacturing. The company expanded its product lines, scaled operations, established relationships with leading global manufacturers and suppliers, and automated manufacturing to create a smarter way to move medication from the pharmacy to the OR to the bedside.
Intelliguard implemented Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to create a never-before-seen and still-unparalleled medication inventory management system. Today, that platform is just part of the Mira Ecosystem™ that provides a centralized, end-to-end view of inventory for increased visibility, accuracy, and accountability. Intelliguard’s solutions help hospitals and health systems continuously improve the environment of safety around every medication decision.
Ours is a history we’re proud of. And our future is one we look forward to.
Our mission is to deliver clinical, compliance, and supply chain solutions to create a healthcare environment of continuous improvement.
Our vision is to create a global healthcare environment that assures safety and positive outcomes from supplier to patient.
Our values unite us around a shared purpose, ensuring we work as trustworthy partners, problem solvers, and data-first innovators, all while elevating patient safety.
