Reply to comment by Ace_Dystopia in MIT engineers develop sensors for face masks that help gauge fit by derpPhysics

I’ve done it many times. The test is simple and tests exactly what needs to be. Its cheap and easy.

MIT is not solving a problem here.

I live in Canada and the costs for a mask fitting test kit or even a homemade one can be more than $100. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but all the nebulizers I see sold are over $50+, which I wouldn’t consider cheap.

The 3M mask fitting test kit is a couple hundreds of dollars.

Okay so let’s build costly circuitry into disposable masks then? Oh, and don’t forget to make sure your mask has batteries, otherwise it won’t be able to tell you whether it fits or not.
