FaceBit is not just a mask on the N95, it can also detect a range of health data thanks to its built-in sensors.
With masks covering the mouth and nose becoming part of our everyday lives in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, it was only a matter of time before developers saw the potential. High-tech smart masks have become very popular, and for good reason, as they can be very useful in everyday life, equipped with technological extras. One of these is the new smart glasses developed by researchers at Northwestern University in the US. developed by a smart mask that can track a range of health data as well as preventing the spread of bacteria and viruses.
The FaceBit N95 mask with medical-grade respiratory protection can measure heart rate as a result of head movements and detect if the mask does not fit perfectly on the wearer's face. It can also tell how stressed you are by collecting heart and respiratory data, and it doesn't even need to be recharged - it lasts up to 11 days on batteries and solar power.
Mass production will have to wait, and it will have to pass clinical and other tests, but once on the market it could be a big help to hospitals trying to keep staff safe and prevent burnout during long shifts.
Razer also has its own smart mask: last year's CES-The illuminated Razer Zephyr, which made its debut at the Razer Expo, is now available on the market, but the latest news is that it does not offer N95 medical-grade protection as promised.
