# Shyld AI

> Shyld AI builds autonomous, edge-native devices that watch hospital rooms with computer vision and sensors, then fire targeted UV-C light to kill pathogens the moment a room is empty or a high-touch surface is used. Founded by brothers Mohammad and Morteza Noshad, the Silicon Valley company sells an 'Active AI' platform to U.S. health systems that has shown a 93% reduction in environmental contamination in a peer-reviewed Stanford study.
