Masks have many different needs. Some are for hay fever, some are for moms, and some are large masks for dust control, to name a few. The idea of turning masks into IoT devices is a simple one, and it seems likely. I googled "mask IoT" and found the following article.
HEXA, an IoT mask that blocks PM2.5, looks good.
HEXA's greatest asset is its dedicated application.
The app also displays the current state of exhalation, air data for each location, and the breathing of registered members. This is an attempt to build a big data base on "breathing.
If respiratory function tests can be performed on the lungs and other parts of the body by monitoring breathing, I feel that it could be used as an attempt to manage the health of employees at sites such as ironworks, where dust is likely to be generated that is not friendly to the human body (sorry for the expression).
Protect the air around youI am concerned that the spread of IoT devices will accelerate the concept and countermeasures of "IoT". We will continue to monitor the trend.
