Digital Fabrication Masks by Ayesha

This contribution was moved here from Technical Innovation of Masks and Face Coverings 2020

Summary

Create a wearable incorporating sensors and light activators. Light upS when Covid is sensed trigger more lights if the count is high.

Description

I need to give this more thought - in terms of a creation and it will be great if the MITCO LAB - can work together on this kit with me.

Who will take these actions?

Merck!

MITCOLAB

What are the projected costs?

Costs - can be drastically reduced if we source recycled materials..( fabrics from coffee grounds if such a fabric is in existence ...or a simple biosynthetic breathable fabric patch -- is an idea...or a material that MIT COLAB can suggest -- from their experience.

and The major costs will be sensors and lens.. and

Timeline

This will depend on materials and availability.

with the correct materials -- a beta test can be done within 6 weeks.

Great Idea !

I would like to understand these following points :

How are sensors activated based on the infection intensity ? Have you tried on Anosmia ?
Are these sensors responding to the surroundings Infection or the triage of the individual wearing the mask ?
Have you thought of creating a reusable component than can fit on any PPE mask ?
What is the mitigation of the mask highlights ? Will it reflect any certain methodologies for the individual to be more careful ?

Looking forward to this innovation ! Keep innovating ! Cheers !
