Meet the Ignas team

Alexander Johonnuson, CEO and co-founder. Product design engineer and tech innovator.

With strong experience in engineering R&D, manufacturing, and a passion for healthcare innovation, I founded Ignas to tackle one of the most pressing issues in healthcare today: healthcare-acquired infections. Leveraging cutting-edge AI and high-tech hardware, our patented medical device aims to revolutionize hand hygiene compliance in healthcare settings. On the business front, I spearhead our fundraising efforts, including securing research and development grants. My role also involves forging strategic partnerships with healthcare organizations and investors, positioning Ignas as a leader in the medtech space.
