Sustainable treatment of one's own health and the environment

Industrialization impacts the environment and human beings. OSRAM products help to protect our natural environment and promote our health. This applies, among other things, to the purification of air and water as well as the cultivation of plants using artificial light. Helping people to increase their efficiency and ability to regenerate is also a part of this topic. And our LEDs reduce the amount of energy consumed by light.

OSRAM enables urban farming, the cultivation of plants in the middle of the city. With special "light recipes" we control how fast and how tall plants grow or how sweet or intense they taste. Without genetic engineering, only with light. NASA and OSRAM are currently researching how salad production in space can be used to supply astronauts. This knowledge can also serve as a basis for urban food supply in the future.

Our mission - Well-being and Health

Main areas of health and well-being

Light is a source of vitality. OSRAM explores this energy to allow people to live healthier lives. We are developing new ways of accessing medical support, protecting and maintaining good health, and living self-determined and confidently. This includes the design of suitable lighting for increasing productivity and the enjoyment of life. We concentrate on these main topics:

Human Well-Being
Sustainable Agriculture
Resource Preservation

Resource Preservation

Light and components conserve resources – through energy-efficient lighting control as well as purification and sterilization

Germicidal purification

UV-C radiation is very versatile and can be used for disinfecting water, destroying harmful micro-organisms in other liquids, on surfaces, on food products and in air.

Air Purification

UV air purification lamps installed in the air system can alleviate respiratory problems and greatly improve well-being and productivity.

Surface Sterilization

UV purification can be used as a simple, fast and reliable process for continuous surface sterilization.

Sustainable Agriculture

Light supports plant growth and enables sustainable cultivation of food

Horticulture

In an increasingly urban world, we promote the existence and growth of plants and ensure stable supplies of fresh food.

Spectroscopy for Corps

By controlling the light, it is possible to increase yields, reduce production time and influence the taste, appearance and nutritional content of plants

Smart Farming

The growing of fruits and vegetables is evolving with new digital and lighting technologies that help growers optimize crop yields and enable farms to sprout almost anywhere

Human Well-being

Light enhances medical technology, facilitates concentration and regeneration, screens vital and fitness data, and analyses the quality of food

Spectroscopy for food

Near-infrared spectroscopy enables such things as the water, fat, sugar and protein content of food to be measured. It uses the characteristic absorption behavior of certain molecular compounds.

Human Centric Lighting (HCL)

HCL supports human health, well-being and performance through holistic planning and implementation of the visual, emotional and, in particular, biological effects of light.

Wearables - Vital Sign Monitoring

OSRAM offers a great variety of innovative components for modern fitness tracking and health monitoring applications. New technologies for highly efficient LEDs allow for more compact sensors.

Photonics is enabling every OSRAM solution
