About the Innovation
The world is a very unclean place and that was proven in large magnitude during this COVID-19 pandemic. Studies have shown that the door handles carry double the bacteria of cell phones and 30 times more bacteria than toilet seats. According to a University of Arizona study, an infected person walking into an office building using a door handle could infect 60% of people in the office within 8 hours.
To solve this problem, inventors from DiscoverSTEM spent months of research analyzing patterns of disease spread.
With the impending dangers of the COVID-19 pandemic, students became motivated to bring the world back to normality and devised a patent-pending UV-C-based sanitizing product that fits door handles, killing over 99.9% of germs at pre-determined intervals. The product has an innovative, eco-friendly, modular, eye-sleeve design that enables it to fit almost all door handles and has near-zero UV light leakage.
