WINDGO Smart Health Fixtures can safely kill up to 90pc of viruses with sensor-verified networked ultraviolet light projection

INDGO, Inc., a research and development company specializing in smart material and vibrational transfer technologies, announced that they have developed a networked sensor-verified light projection fixture that allows scheduled exposure of programmable light wavelengths.
Fixture projection modes include visible Red-Green-Blue(RGB) with dynamic color-temperatures and safe sterilization modes that selectively expose air and surfaces to visible, UV-C and far-UVC wavelengths of light. WINDGO has developed an advanced sterilization solution utilizing multiple granted and pending US patents. The smart health fixture system provides smart sensors and network communicating projectors that can safely attack the physical structure of biological material such as viruses.
A virus is a microorganism that reproduces itself within a host body. When a microorganism is exposed to UV-C light, the projected light wave penetrates through the organism's cell wall and disrupts the structure of its DNA molecules. The net result is that the virus can no longer reproduce itself due to its permanently damaged DNA.
Each smart health fixture is setup with an exposure time using special lighting wavelengths. The IoT projection profile is programmed for each sensory projection fixture to provide safe surface exposures to environmental surfaces such as bathrooms, hallways, doorknobs, kitchens, automobiles, planes, buses and other private and public areas. These networks can be easily integrated to enhance existing security systems that utilize motion detection technology. Our goal is to provide safe, scalable and affordable smart health fixtures that can be mass produced rapidly.
UV-C is a special lighting wavelength that is beyond the traditional UV-A and UV-B ranges that are often associated with typical outdoor sunlight exposure, tanning beds, black lights and other general ultraviolet light waves.
Microorganisms can live on surfaces for many minutes, hours or in some cases for days. By exposing nearby air and surfaces to selected wavelengths of light the surfaces can become less harmful to humans. The overall goal is to achieve a reset or baseline-zero of infectious disease management.
Cellular phones can contain a buildup of organisms that can become a petri dish of growth for up to four days. If the contamination buildup on surfaces could be managed periodically to a baseline of zero we could experience a net decrease of exposure to many diseases. Hospitals are a perfect example of locations that could benefit from minimizing the buildup of continuous microorganisms. The overall goal of this technology would ultimately provide airborne, surface and human skin contact neutralization and microorganism sterilization.
According to David J. Brenner, PhD, professor and director of the Center for Radiological Research at Columbia University Medical Center, and colleagues, a narrow spectrum of ultraviolet C light called far-UVC can safely prevent the spread of diseases like influenza and tuberculosis that can be transmitted through the air.* Research in the areas of far-UVC wavelengths are showing promise for safe human exposure in specific wavelengths such as 222nm. This could lead to safe, low-level, long-term human exposure to this unique light waves to reduce microorganisms on the skin surface.
