Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to the necessity of an adequate disinfection system to fight dangerous and contagious diseases. Current cleaning procedures are frequently laborious and time-consuming. Researchers are investigating the use of cutting-edge technologies to safeguard the worldwide populace against the spread of viruses and other illnesses to address this issue. A UV-222 nm light-based disinfection system has been suggested as a possible remedy in this regard to counteract the impacts of viruses and maintain a clean and secure environment. The implementation of UV-222 nm light-based disinfection systems and their prospective influence on healthcare technology are the main topics of this article. The technology can address issues with the spread of viruses and bacteria in a variety of contexts, including car headlights, public lighting, interior lights in homes, and other sterilising techniques. Additionally, the high-way geometry of UVC sterilisation has been theoretically formulated and investigated. Healthcare professionals, medical physicists, biomedical and clinical engineers, and other associated groups are the target audience for this article. In order to enhance patient safety, disease surveillance, and management, the study discusses the potential advantages of UV-222 nm light-based disinfection systems. We also talk about the ethical, moral, and legal ramifications of using such technology. In conclusion, this research offers a fresh viewpoint on UV-222 nm light-based disinfection systems and their prospective influence on medical technology. In order to improve patient care and safety, we hope that this conversation will promote additional research and development in the area of healthcare technology.
