We are honored to announce that a new scientific study by Dr. Salvatore Chirumbolo and Prof. Umberto Tirelli on the photocatalysis generated by WiWell photocatalytic products has just been published in the prestigious journal Journal of Medical Virology.
By applying artificial intelligence software capable of performing “forecast plotting”—that is, a mathematical trend curve using already published and verifiable data—the authors evaluated the predicted impact of photocatalysis on the indoor spread of the COVID virus, as an exemplary model of the microbial reduction capacity induced by WiWell products.
The results indicate that the photocatalysis generated by WiWell films completely eliminates the phenomenon of viral particle dispersion in an indoor environment. In essence, through a series of complex calculations using the Holt-Winters analysis method, it is stated that, where our products are present, the risk of survival of microbial load is practically equal to zero, even in the long term after application.
The research is currently available by subscription only and will be made publicly accessible in the coming months.
Dr. Salvatore Chirumbolo is a clinical biochemist at the Department of Engineering for Innovation Medicine, University of Verona. Prof. Umberto Tirelli is a specialist in oncology and infectious diseases. Both boast an impressive list of peer-reviewed scientific publications with a very high impact factor.
The Journal of Medical Virology
This is a peer-reviewed bimonthly medical journal covering fundamental and applied research on viruses that affect humans. Founded in 1967, it is published by the American Society for Microbiology and available by subscription. Research articles become freely accessible online four months after publication. According to the Journal Citation Reports, in 2021 the Journal of Medical Virology had an impact factor of 20.693, ranking second out of 37 journals in the “Virology” category.
