Using Barrier Technology to Stop the Spread of Infectious Disease – Rik Heller
The #HCBiz Show’s Don Lee and Shahid Shah invited Rik Heller, CEO of wello Inc., and inventor of welloStation™ to explain how he believes “barrier technology” stops infection spread in the battle against Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) by separating “the match from the fuse.”
The episode covers a lot of ground including:
– How infections spread
– Why it’s only partly a healthcare solution that we need to seek
– The role of humidity in mitigating or amplifying a contagion
– Why we must dispel the myth that asymptomatic people are the problem
– How 10% of the sick are “super-spreaders” and how we can identify them
– Why you should stay home when you’re sick and why your employer should make you
– Where the CDC gets it wrong
– Why good hair days are bad health days
