Dr. Kathryn C. Worrilow, Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, on behalf of the LifeAire team:
“I am incredibly proud of everyone who brought the Aire~IRMU to life. This recognition reflects their dedication and commitment to the people these systems protect. Clean air in healthcare and care environments is not a luxury; it is a necessity. The Aire~IRMU makes that protection more accessible without reducing the standard of performance we have always held ourselves to. We will keep building, keep publishing, and keep advancing this work.”
This Silver Edison Award follows LifeAire’s Edison Award in 2025 for the Aire~HCX II, making us one of the few organizations to receive Edison recognition in consecutive years for two distinct products within the healthcare environment space.
We are also grateful to Angelo Valletta and the team at Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern PA, whose long-standing support has been instrumental in LifeAire’s growth and this milestone. Partnerships like this one make regional innovation possible.
