How Ukrainian schoolchildren invented a smart mask that diagnoses coronavirus
Amid the epidemic of coronavirus, which is transmitted mainly by airborne droplets, protective masks have become an everyday accessory for millions of people around the world. So it’s no surprise that scientists and inventors are looking to expand their functionality. What is a "smart" mask and how it differs from the usual - in our article.
Specialists from the Spanish textile company Colorprint Fashion have developed a fabric that changes color if its temperature reaches 37.5 degrees.
This allowed them to produce protective masks, the color of which signals an elevated temperature in their owners. Initially, it is green, but with increasing temperature changes to white.

The innovative material is also planned to be used for the production of bracelets, patches and other medical products.
Smart mask from Ukrainian schoolchildren Smart mask (smart mask), which was invented by schoolchildren in Dnipro (Ukraine), itself detects the symptoms of SARS and coronavirus. This is achieved by installing sensors of oxygen level, respiratory rate, pulse and body temperature in it. The received data is processed by a built-in processor and transmitted to the smartphone via Bluetooth.

Young inventors from the YOVi team say they just couldn’t sit back and watch people die. Laboratories are often overloaded, and rapid tests are unfortunately not as accurate as polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Smart mask C-mask from the company Donut Robotics does not protect against coronavirus, but is worn over medical and helps to maintain social distance.
The built-in microphone records the words of a person, if necessary translates into one of 7 languages (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, English, Spanish, French) and transmits via Bluetooth to a smartphone.

The expected cost of the mask is 40-50 dollars. And to produce a novelty for export plan not earlier than April 2021.
Israeli inventors have developed a protective mask with remote control that allows you to eat food without removing it. This could make visiting restaurants during an epidemic less risky, they said.
No way! This is too horrific. Mask in a restaurant? This one can gobble like Pac-Man t.co/iMAKlygyVU pic.twitter.com/MAR4ZR1O3A

"The mask will open mechanically with a handheld remote or automatically when the fork approaches the mask," explains one of its developers.
Well, we hope that smart masks will contribute to containing the spread of the coronavirus. All we can do is be socially responsible. Do not forget about personal protective equipment and social distance in public places. Watch your personal hygiene. Be vigilant and take care of yourself!
