The technology must be used for human benefit. I don't think anyone will disagree with this maxim. And they will be even more in agreement when they get to know the Robot “Xenex“, A machine capable of disinfect rooms by emitting ultraviolet rays.
That robot, Xenex, is currently used in three North American military medical centers, as well as in 250 hospitals, to destroy pathogens that could pose a danger of contagion to employees at those centers.
How does it work?
Xenex uses a non-toxic gas, xenon, to produce ultraviolet rays that eradicate microbes more quickly and effectively than a human cleaning team, it does this by emitting 1,5 beats per second over a three meter perimeter
With these characteristics, the US authorities are already using the robot as one of the secret weapons to combat Ebola that, according to data WHO officials, has left 5.459 dead since the beginning of the year with 15.351 infected.
More information about the robot can be found in the official website of the manufacturer company.
Will our hospital units adhere to this innovation?
