Scientists have developed a smart mask that can diagnose diseases by analyzing the wearer’s breath.
Experts expect this smart mask to transmit data via Bluetooth to an app that will help in quick diagnosis of diseases.
Experts from the California Institute of Technology in the United States have developed this smart mask.
He said that our technology will diagnose different diseases by using different sensors.
For example, this mask will monitor the condition of the kidneys as well as respiratory tract edema and asthma, he said.
He said that currently the technology to diagnose respiratory diseases faces several challenges and often such samples are analyzed in the laboratory.
On the contrary, this mask called EB Care has a device installed which can monitor the patient’s health through breathing.
According to the researchers, they used a 2-pronged strategy to diagnose respiratory diseases.
He said that the EB-Care device is made of a material that easily dissipates heat, but also contains a hydrogel that cools through the natural process of water evaporation. .
The patient’s breath is directed to sensors that check for the presence and levels of various elements in it.
The breath is then directed to the hydrogel, which provides details about the vaporized water source.
The experiments of this smart mask have been done on many people suffering from asthma and lung diseases including healthy people.
The results showed that the mask tracks changes in inhaled constituents and identifies problems accordingly.
According to experts, this mask can also diagnose kidney problems and this is known by the amount of nitrates in the breath.
He said that this mask can be worn during daily activities, after which it continuously collects data in real time, due to which the patient does not need to visit doctors.
He added that the device is very cheap and can be used repeatedly.
