Better Health for All

Aehr Test Systems supplies test and burn-in equipment for the semiconductor industry. The company's core products and services, which involve testing integrated circuits and semiconductor devices, do not have a direct positive or negative impact on health outcomes. While Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, which Aehr tests, has potential applications in home healthcare devices and medical implants,

Aehr's role is in ensuring the reliability of these components, not in directly providing health benefits or services. There is no evidence to suggest that the company generates revenue from products with negative health outcomes, nor are there any reported safety incidents or adverse events related to the direct use of their testing equipment. The company does not offer health-related products or services that would require considerations for price accessibility, vulnerable population reach, or health risk transparency. Furthermore, there is no evidence of R&D or capital allocation specifically aimed at improving health outcomes, nor are there any reported health externalities, health equity programs, healthcare workforce support initiatives, preventative health measures, healthcare data responsibility practices, global health crisis responses, mental health initiatives, pharmaceutical patent flexibility, nutrition and food safety, healthcare education, addiction mitigation efforts, or clinical trial ethics related to the company's operations.
