2020 has seen many projects around masks and how they could become more comfortable and adapted to situations outside of the hospital, such as sports and industrial work.

To that end, xRapid Group is launching a Kickstarter campaign for its smart mask called
xHale. As of today, the project seems fully funded, so we’re hoping that the project can quickly progress.
xHale is an actively-ventilated mask, which means that it has
two fans that will force additional air in and out. The fans are activated by an air pressure sensor and try to match the user inhales and exhale as naturally as possible.
