UV-HEROES at the Bright Night 2026
Every device starts with a question. UV-HEROES® started with one that is simple, concrete, and for too long overlooked: why is the stethoscope — the most widely used instrument in medicine — not systematically disinfected after every patient contact?
The answer was not a lack of awareness. It was the absence of a practical solution, one that could realistically fit into the daily routine of healthcare professionals. Finding that solution required years of scientific research, microbiological testing, technology development and real-world validation. A process rooted in academic research, carried out with methodological rigour, and brought — through precise, verifiable steps — to a product now available and in use in healthcare settings.
That product is UV-HEROES®.
On 25 September, as part of the European Researchers’ Night, the team behind UV-HEROES® will be at Bright Night in Siena to tell exactly this story: how a healthcare innovation is born, what it means to translate scientific evidence into a practical tool, and why the gap between the laboratory and the ward can — and must — be closed.
An event open to everyone: healthcare professionals, students, and anyone curious about where real innovation comes from.
📍 Santa Maria della Scala, Siena
