Wearable Tech, Pathogens, and the fight to keep you safe while at Work Rest or Play
Air Borne Disease is an infection spread from one person to another through the air; caused by breathing in microscopic, disease-bearing organisms called Pathogens.
Many know terms like Cold, Flu and even Covid 19, these are all known as Pathogens. There are many other types of Pathogens and new ones are discovered every year and depending on many factors will depend on whether the pathogen is labelled a pandemic.
While no one can truly keep you safe from pathogens there are many ways to reduce the chances of even contracting one. The HeadTech Smart Mask is one of those ways and was designed to help protect a user’s respiratory system while allowing them to interact with others at Work Rest or Play. It was designed to be the future of all smart and smart wearable devices long term.
Pandemic causing pathogens are on the rise, the latest pandemic, Covid 19 cost the world globally 11 trillion US dollars in the fight against it and it’s estimated that the economic cost in future earnings will top over 10 trillion US dollars.
However, the actual cost is the human one with a loss of life of over 6.3m globally and the long-term effects that lockdowns and isolation have had on people will never be known.
