Kinnos

Jason Kang, Biomedical Engineering '16SEAS

About

Kinnos was founded to protect our healthcare workers and patients. During our junior year of college in October 2014, we joined Columbia’s Ebola Design Challenge to fight the Ebola crisis in West Africa and the first prototype of Highlight® was born. Since then, we’ve recognized the urgent need to improve decontamination for both epidemic response and daily disinfection and the tangible impact Highlight® can have around the world. Our goal is to empower healthcare workers and patients to protect themselves and others, eliminate human error during decontamination, and prevent the unnecessary loss of life.
