Learning About Next Generation UV Products in Healthcare

Thanks to COVID, we’ve all been forced to learn about a number of technologies we hadn’t known deeply about previously.  One of those technologies that’s been around for a long time that’s valuable to know about thanks to COVID is UV products.  This relatively old and proven technology has been modernized to address both COVID safety issues and many other health risks that benefit from a high quality disinfection system.

To learn more about the evolution of UV technology and how healthcare organizations are using it today, I sat down with Grant Morgan, CEO and Co-Founder at R-Zero Systems at R-Zero Systems.  He shared with us about UV technology and what healthcare organizations are doing when it comes to disinfection systems.  Morgan also shared some of the challenges healthcare organizations face when they take the wrong approach to disinfecting their healthcare buildings.

Morgan also shared how there’s a wide variety of UV products out there.  Some UV products may be safe to use with people in the room and others may be designed to clean a whole room while no one is present.  There are a number of options to consider now based on your need.  Plus, these UV devices are much more sophisticated now including being connected to a platform that tracks infection efforts and device use.

Morgan also shared how a healthcare organization can benefit from utilizing UV technology beyond COVID.  No doubt COVID has brought a lot of attention to the space, but UV is great at protecting patients and caregivers for many things besides COVID.  He also shared how the latest technology includes dashboards and other reporting to help a healthcare team better manage these new devices in their hospitals.
