As part of the growing concern of hospital- acquired infections , in August 2019, Aura Smart Air performed a trial in collaboration with The Department of General and Oncological Surgery at The Chaim Sheba Medical Center in the implementation of air purifiers for the purpose of disinfecting and purifying the air from various pollutants.

The aim of the trial was to quantify the properties of the Smart Air device to purify air contaminated by a Coronavirus similar in size with the SARS-CoV_2.
