Test Results Indicate that Molekule’s Air Pro Purifier Reduces Hospital Length of Stay by Approximately Two Days in COVID-19 Patients

Study in Partnership with Mercyhealth Hospitals and the University of South Florida Measured the Efficacy of the Molekule Air Pro Purifier on the Clinical Recovery in Mild or Moderate COVID-19 Patients

Results Indicate that In-Room Air Pro Devices with Patented Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO) Filter Reduced Length of Hospital Stay by a Statistically Significant Length of Time

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., June 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Molekule Group, Inc. (“Molekule” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MKUL) today announced the results of a research study evaluating the effect of in-room air purification on the clinical recovery in mild and moderate COVID-19 patients. The study, conducted at two Mercyhealth hospitals, indicates a statistically significant outcome, with length of stay reduced by approximately two (2) days when Molekule’s Air Pro purifier with its patented PECO filter is running in the patient room.

“We know our devices are proven to effectively destroy many dangerous pathogens from the air. These latest results underscore the integral role improved indoor air quality (“IAQ”) can have in recovery from illness as well,” said Jason DiBona, Chief Executive Officer of Molekule. “We are dedicated to revolutionizing IAQ and are thrilled this study validates the immense potential to enhance patient care through our innovative solutions. These positive findings further solidify our commitment to safe air for everyone and the importance it has on our health and wellbeing.

“The results from the adequately powered blinded randomized controlled trial comparing Molekule’s Air Pro purifier versus placebo shows that, on average, use of Molekule’s Air Pro purifier was associated with a two day shorter stay in the hospital for COVID-19 patients - the primary outcome of the trial. This finding is not only statistically significant but also clinically meaningful considering the shorter stay and its impact on overall savings for the patients and the healthcare system and demonstrates the significance of clean air in healthcare settings,” said Dr. Ambuj Kumar, University of South Florida, Study Collaborator. “The shortened recovery process was clear in those with access to improved air quality, offering new ways that we can better support patients utilizing all the tools at our disposal. As technology improves, we see the imperative role it can play in improving both patient care as well as better managing hospital resources.”
