VISION
Sustainable impact to the quality of care
PURPLESUN is a technology company on a mission to transform healthcare by creating the first non-chemical based standard for disinfection. Our novel light-based products provide healthcare facilities with the fastest, data-driven, sustainable solutions for infection prevention.
PurpleSun technology featured in the American Journal of Infection Control:
- Chemical Disinfection vs. PurpleSun FMUV
- PurpleSun FMUV Impact on Cleaning Time
- Evaluation of FMUV for Disinfection
A new era of value-based healthcare is focused on quality.
In order to improve care, lower costs and improve operational margins for payers and providers we must implement infection prevention precautions.
1 in 20 patients will contract a hospital-acquired infection (HAI) during their stay
Infections not only harm patient health and trust but also hospital profits. Additional care due to infection is rarely fully paid for. Lower the infection rate and you’ll see healthier patients and economic savings.

Why embrace new infection prevention methods
LIMITATIONS OF TODAY’S TOOLS
- Everything is done by hand
- Thousands of surfaces to cover
- No room for human error
CLINICAL BURDEN
- Increased pathogen resistance to antibiotics and cleaning agents
- Surfaces remain contaminated for months at a time
PATIENT PERCEPTION
- New laws (section 2819) require public reports on performance
- Patient has a choice in facilities
FINANCIAL BURDEN
- HAIs add 8-19 days length of stay
- Medicare reimbursement is withheld from hospitals with the highest HAIs
Healthcare needs a solution.
