[SatNews] The Space Foundation welcomes Psoria-Shield™ as its newest Space Certification program partner.

Based in Tampa, Fla., Psoria-Shield produces a medical device to treat a range of problematic skin disorders. The Psoria-Light medical device uses Deep Ultra Violet Light Emitting Diode (UVLED) technology, offering targeted UVA/ NB-UVB phototherapy for fast and effective treatment of psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo. The Space Foundation's Space Certification program recognizes products originally developed for space that have been adapted to improve life on Earth. Psoria-Shield joins a prominent list of companies that carry Space Certification status.

The original technology was developed in part for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Ground Observatory (LIGO) (Laser Interferometer Ground Observatory) and LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) projects for photoelectron generation as part of the charge management system for gravitational wave measurement systems. Psoria-Light technology incorporates a multitude of deep UVLEDs sufficient to offer high-dosage, therapeutic, targeted UVA and NB-UVB phototherapy.
