Could your face mask detect Covid?

A face mask could use sensors to provide a warning about exposure to viruses. AFP Relaxnews Tiny sensors incorporated into wearable fabrics like masks and jackets could provide instant information on exposure to disease-causing pathogens such as the coronavirus, according to research published on Monday in the journal Nature Biotechnology. The highly-sensitive tests that up to now have been restricted to laboratory use are integrated into smart wearables “beyond what a FitBit or Applewatch can offer”, said study co-author Peter Nguyen a research scientist at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. “The concept is similar to how our own skin works, where you automatically sense your environment with exquisite sensitivity without needing to actively participate in the details of the process itself,” he said.
