Technology Fights Hospital Infections

Hey! Wouldnt it be sad if your grandmother is in the hospital and suddenley gets a Hospital Infection, that the doctors cant cure and she might die! Well you should britten up your mood because i have something that can cure your granny, it was made a cuple of thousand years ago, its called technology. But its actually HINS light (wich is Technology). In this Report I will explore the ways that this type of technology can cure patients.

The technology decontaminates the air and exposed surfaces by bathing them into visible-light, known as HINS-light. The clinic at Glasgow Royal Infirmary has proven that Environmental Decontamination System provides significantly greater reductions of bacterial pathogens in the hospital environment than can be achieved by cleaning and disinfection alone, providing a huge step forward in hospitals' ability to prevent the spread of infection. Technology was discovered and developed by a multidisciplinary team of experts, Professor Scott Macgregor (Electrical Engineer), Professor John Anderson and Dr Michelle Maclean (Microbiologists) and Professor Gerry Woolsey (Optical Physicist.) Professor Anderson stated: “The technology kills pathogens but is harmless to patients and staff, which means for the first time; hospitals can continuously disinfect wards and isolation rooms.” This means that it can help the human kind with no problems.

In conclusion I believe that this is something that can really help us because there are no Cons to this “invention” there are only Pros which will really help humans but mostly patients, and even staff (staff of the hospital.)

  1. Your current events was pretty good, but you should edit it some more next time. The new HINS light does sound like a great discovery that could help may patients. I look forward to having it being used in hospitals to help save patients.
