With consumers more concerned than ever about bacteria and the spread of germs, the use of self-service technology is on the rise with 69% of consumers saying they are more likely to make in-store purchases if self-help kiosks are an option. As usage increases, high-touch areas such as interactive screens are becoming hot spots for bacteria. Coastal Health's technology helps mitigate 99.99% of the microbial bacteria traditionally found on these surface areas.

Under the new partnership, the antimicrobial film will be placed over the Microsoft Surface tablet's exterior to reduce the transfer of harmful bacteria and viruses. The antimicrobial film helps reduce germs and bacteria from staying on the surface it protects. Without the film, bacteria can live on the surfaces and quickly spread to others who interact with the device.

Understanding the importance of creating safer environments, Raydiant began exploring solutions that would enable them to enhance the Microsoft Surface tablet with an antimicrobial film. Adding this layer of protection will help make the consumer feel more comfortable using technology.
