Novir is a Milwaukee company that was founded in April 2020, in response to urgent demand for scalable COVID-19 testing. Novir developed a tech-enabled model offering on-site and virtual rapid tests, bridging gaps in speed, cost, and convenience of traditional labs. As pandemic testing demand declined, Novir pivoted toward long-term, preventive healthcare delivery by building proprietary solutions aimed at chronic inefficiencies in the U.S. healthcare system. Novir has two flagship platforms: InstaGUARD, a turnkey vaccination and screening clinic model for senior living communities, and InstaCLEAR, a virtually proctored, saliva-based drug testing platform designed to bypass traditional lab bottlenecks.
