Enhancing Respiratory Health with Smart Cooling Masks and Immune System Monitoring
With this one pandemic from SARS-CoV causing havoc across the globe, wearing face masks has turned out to be one of the most effective and confirmed preventive measure. But standard disposable masks have no comfort features, things like adjustable straps, rough edges, insufficient nose padding, making it painful to wear for extended periods. It is especially difficult for people with respiratory disorders, who may experience effects on their respiratory system and immune response. To address these problems, we present the Smart Cooling Mask with Real-Time Human Immunity Level, a mask type wearable health monitoring solution. This one-of-a-kind device, a duck bill mask, is made of flexible, woven fabric and features an Independed removable Immunity Detector Device. It allows users to monitor their health and then provides useful step-by-step suggestions based on their immune system results to take further actions to improve their immune systems over timeThe system includes a closed-loop control system, as well as bio-sensors such as heart rate, blood pressure, pulse oximeter, and body temperature sensors which have an onboard microcontroller chip. Best of all, a dedicated smartphone app that pairs with the device allows you to control wear remotely, receive health alerts, reminders for mask maintenance, and health management in general.
