Dutch tech company SunLED Life Science has worked on the new SunBooster device which is developed to mimic sunlight. It clips onto computer monitors or laptops to evoke a near-infrared light to users as they work for various benefits. The SunBooster was unveiled recently at the MWC Barcelona tech fair to improve the mental and physical health of users as sunlight is essential.
CTO and co-founder of SunLED, Dr. Anne Berends explained, "Today's modern lifestyle lacks exposure to natural sunlight, with many people spending most of their time working indoors in an office, at home or in a car. The chronic absence of NIR light can have serious systemic health consequences. Our technology can be integrated into almost any product to give everyone access to the health benefits of natural sunlight wherever they work, making every workspace healthier."
