Medical device company EmitBio is testing a device that uses precise light frequencies it claims can keep the coronavirus at bay
he best weapon in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic remains the vaccines that have been developed with unprecedented speed. But as cases continue to surge across the globe, there remains a need for more treatments, especially those for people who still have mild symptoms, in hopes of keeping them out of overflowing hospitals.
But Hunter knows the potential of LED technology better than nearly anyone. In 1987, he cofounded Cree, which developed light bulbs, semiconductors and other products. Hunter served as CEO and chairman before leaving the company in 2005. That same year, he cofounded LED Lighting Fixtures, which was sold three years later.
Stasko explains the company believes there are two ways in which the device helps achieve these results. First is the light directly acting on the virus to prevent it from replicating. Second, the company’s data suggests the light frequency triggers the production of nitric oxide, which the body’s immune system uses for a number of different purposes, including fighting infectious disease.
