    Most of us are familiar with the long list of preventative measures that can be taken to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria.

In this episode of Talisen Talk, you’ll discover how Brainlit is using biocentric lighting and disinfection technologies to help reduce costs, drive productivity, improve performance, increase safety, and create healthy, infection-free environments in the healthcare sector and other commercial areas. Listen now to learn how Brainlit is helping healthcare and commercial clients “future-proof” their operations with health technology innovations that are truly making a difference during the current COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
