Smarter Pollution Protection

smartmask_01

Designed for use in urban areas with varying air quality, the Smart Mask takes the guess work out of knowing when to protect yourself. Paired with the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth, the design’s built-in sensors detect harmful particles and alert the user when it’s appropriate to breathe through the mask. Through the digital network of connected devices, sensitive areas can be then be mapped for continuous, real-time citywide monitoring.
