About
Sergi Degea is a researcher at the forefront of infection control and healthcare automation, with a primary focus on developing and validating autonomous disinfection technologies for clinical environments. His most notable contribution is the design and clinical evaluation of the Autonomous Sanitary Sterilisation Ultraviolet Machine (ASSUM), a programmable UV-C robot engineered to reduce environmental bioburden in high-risk settings. In his landmark 2024 study, Degea demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of ASSUM for terminal disinfection of surgical theaters and intensive-intermediate care unit rooms, achieving a significant reduction in microbial contamination. This work, already garnering 4 citations, positions him as an emerging leader in the integration of robotics and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation for hospital hygiene. By addressing the critical need for consistent, autonomous sterilization, Degea’s research directly supports patient safety and infection prevention protocols. His achievements highlight a promising trajectory in applied biomedical engineering, offering scalable solutions for healthcare facilities seeking to enhance disinfection standards while minimizing human exposure to pathogens.
