Abstract

The smart mask is a new type of mask with active air supply and breathing. It adopts an external electric fan-forced air supply system, which can effectively reduce the user’s breathing load and achieve the purpose of improving comfort and user experience. However, in the current market, the function of smart masks is relatively simple with weak practicability and limited application. Based on these situations and in the research of a large number of smart masks and other types of masks, their application scenarios, advantages and disadvantages of the current technologies used in smart masks are analysed and compared to demonstrate their advantages in comfort and functionality. In terms of application prospects, new technologies can be integrated into the research and development of smart masks, providing new ideas for the research and development of new masks, which is crucial to the future market development of smart wearable products.
