New Smart Mask Monitors Respiratory Health Through Breath Analysis

Caltech researchers develop EBCare mask to detect biomarkers for conditions like asthma and COPD in real-time.

EBCare mask analyzes exhaled breath condensate to monitor health indicators.
The device detects nitrite levels to indicate airway inflammation in asthma patients.
Self-cooling technology condenses breath into liquid for analysis.
Data is transmitted wirelessly to smartphones for real-time health tracking.
Masks could potentially monitor other conditions such as kidney disease and blood alcohol levels.
