[0002]

[0003]

[0004]

[0005] The disclosed subject matter relates generally to sterilizing bodysuit devices, systems, and methods, and more particularly to sterilizing bodysuit devices, systems, and methods that allow individual wearers to attend, connect, and participate in group gatherings in person while avoiding the potential spread of airborne contagious diseases. [Background technology]

[0006] In recent years, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, has spread worldwide, causing an international pandemic. COVID-19 is spread primarily through saliva droplets or nasal sprays when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or even exhales. While the majority of people infected with COVID-19 experience mild to moderate respiratory illness, there are many high-risk individuals in society who are at high risk for serious illness and even death. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Researchers and experts are working tirelessly to prevent and treat coronavirus infections and other airborne infectious diseases. Meanwhile, many guidelines and mitigation measures have been put in place to limit their spread. Such measures have changed the way people go about their daily tasks. For example, people are being encouraged to wash their hands diligently, as they should always, and to practice proper coughing and sneezing etiquette (i.e., into a bent elbow). Furthermore, vaccines have been developed, but of course, they do not guarantee absolute prevention of infection.

[0008] More seriously, social distancing, or physical distancing, has been implemented to maintain distance between individuals and reduce the amount of close contact people have with one another. Social distancing measures were introduced as a way to slow the spread of infectious diseases. However, despite technological advances, they have certain drawbacks that make them unsustainable in the long term. Indeed, social distancing has taken a toll on not only mental health but also the economy. Furthermore, people crave face-to-face, physical connection with others.

[0009] To allow people to gather in group settings, they were instructed to wear gloves (medical grade or not) and other face coverings to protect their respiratory systems from airborne infections. However, these measures are not completely effective and should only be used occasionally when individuals gather with others. Personal protective equipment (known as "PPE") is equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that can cause serious injury or illness from contact with any number of chemical or physical hazards. As this relates to biological hazards such as airborne diseases, PPE in the form of protective clothing is often required to protect against infection.

[0010] PPE is often heavy, expensive, and inconvenient. Furthermore, most PPE is not commercialized for informal settings and is therefore not widely available. Therefore, there remains a need for a disinfectant body suit that allows for interpersonal social connection while eliminating or reducing the potential spread of airborne infectious diseases. Indeed, there remains a need for solutions that allow people to interact safely at close range. Furthermore, there remains a need for PPE that allows for social interaction without physical distancing, is easily controlled, safe to clean, and can be rapidly implemented. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The present disclosure is directed to a sterilizing bodysuit device, system, and method that reduces the potential spread of, and in some embodiments, eliminates, airborne infectious diseases such as viruses. More specifically, a sterilizing bodysuit can provide a wearer with an airtight, sterile, and sometimes waterproof personal environment. Thus, a wearer of a sterilizing bodysuit may be able to participate in social gatherings with multiple people, such as nightclubs, restaurants, bars, theaters, concerts, and other group events, activities, or outings, without increasing the risk of exposure to potential infectious diseases. In some embodiments, a wearer can eat, drink, vape, or smoke while wearing the sterilizing bodysuit. Bodysuits can be designed to flatter the wearer's body and provide comfortable movement, such as for dancing. Furthermore, bodysuits can be designed to follow current fashion trends.

[0012] In summary, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features have been described. It should be understood that not all advantages may be realized in accordance with a particular embodiment.
