The design project, “3Oe & PDT: Saving Lives With Engineered Water,” was selected from nearly 30 featured innovations in Season 1 of the nationally broadcast “America by Design” television series showcased in Episode 4. The series features every type of innovation, from personal devices to transportation and medical advancements, uncovering the key ingredients of impactful design. Chosen by the viewers, Iggy™ edged out the top 10 finalists to be voted America’s favorite innovation to win the People’s Choice Award.

Iggy™ uses 3Oe Scientific’s proprietary technology to produce an intense spray fortified with aqueous ozone that does not cause skin irritation. When used as part of an overall approach to health and wellbeing, Iggy™ enhances the effectiveness of hand hygiene programs that reduce the risk of transmission of infectious microbes.

Astronics is the exclusive manufacturer of Iggy™, paving the way to meet the growing demand for aqueous ozone technology and harness the power of nature’s chemical-free disinfectant. Iggy™ was designed to simplify and improve the traditional 20-second hand rinsing process with its user-centered design approach. PDT and 3Oe Scientific developed Iggy™ after extensive research, design, engineering and prototype iterations. The connected device ensures a frictionless, touch-free experience with complete spray coverage, eliminating hand-rubbing.

"We are honored to be chosen by the viewers of America by Design," said Mark Schwartz, Vice President of PDT. "The program featured so many great innovations and we are proud to see that the significant design work behind Iggy™ was recognized among them."

Dr. Thomas Foust, Founder and CEO of 3Oe Scientific, said, "We’re excited for the recognition this incredible award brings to aqueous ozone technology. Our goal is to create healthier communities, and this helps raise awareness as Iggy™ continues to be installed in schools, businesses and public areas across America."
