They had a huge reduction in length of stay for COVID, simply putting a red and infrared light blanket on.

It was the chest, like torso area.

And then when we also look at tons and tons of studies looking at where patients actually are staying like location wise in the hospital and their length of stay and their health outcomes.

And we see that patients who are sitting by a window actually have better health outcomes in the hospital and their length of stay gets reduced by a lot.

And so, you know, that could be various reasons.

One, you're getting dynamic lighting.

So that means that, you know, the sun is constantly changing in the spectrum of light that it emits.

LEDs and fluorescent light bulbs have a constant spectrum of light.

They're always on the same, you know,

Whereas the sun in the morning, it's like sunrise is red and orange, gets more blue, more blue.

And then during sunset, back to that red and orange.

And you have this curve of different light that occurs during the day.

And that sets what's called our circadian rhythm, our internal body clock that sets basically every single control, every single organ, every single cell of our body.

And so these patients, right, we're

And you're getting more red and infrared light by standing next to a window than you would if you had no window, right?
