About Sterra Health

Protecting the devices
clinicians rely on most.

Sterra Health was founded from direct experience in clinical environments, where the devices most essential to daily care were also the least protected.

Phones pass between hands every shift.

Shared phones are among the most frequently handled surfaces in a clinical setting, and among the least consistently disinfected. They move between patients, providers, and environments all day long.

Sterra Health makes single-use disposable covers for shared desk phones and personal smartphones. Each cover creates a clean barrier for every user, without adding steps to an already demanding shift.

Every product is developed through a single lens: will this integrate naturally into clinical workflow? The answer has to be yes before anything else moves forward.

Designed around how clinicians actually work.

Passive Protection

No extra cleaning steps. No protocol changes. Protection is built directly into the workflow. Put it on, use it, discard it.

Full Device Functionality

Touchscreen, Face ID, camera, and all controls remain fully accessible. Nothing about how staff use their devices changes.

Visible Compliance

Every patient encounter shows a fresh cover. Staff and patients can both see that protection is in place, with no guesswork needed.

"

The goal is straightforward: products that fit into clinical routines without interrupting them.
