The mask uses a self-cooling system that condenses breath into liquid and allows real-time analysis of biomarkers such as nitrite, which indicates airway inflammation, a key symptom of asthma and COPD. This feature allows users to monitor the condition of their airways remotely, potentially replacing the need to visit the clinic in the future.
Equipped with bio-inspired microfluidic devices, the mask transfers fluid samples to sensors for detailed analysis, which are then transmitted to smartphones. In tests, the EBCare mask accurately identified nitrite levels in patients with respiratory conditions and even measured blood alcohol content.
