Smart Anti-Pollution Masks

The Maasc Mask Provides a Constant Supply of Fresh, Filtered Air

— May 11, 2021 — Eco
Built by experts in the Netherlands' HighTech Campus, Maasc is the smart anti-pollution mask that brings clean, fresh air to all. Featuring a patented BreatheEase active fan system, Maasc provides a constant supply of fresh, filtered air.

Maasc features a one-way airflow, meaning the entrance and exhaustion of the air occurs separately, reducing the risk of inhaling unfiltered air. A silicone seal avoids leakage of air both inwards and outwards (meaning no more foggy glasses) while also being soft to the touch to avoid unsightly face marks.

Weighing in at just 160g, Maasc is lightweight and easy to carry, with its fan producing only 40dBA -- about as quiet as the average library. It’s also water-repellent, making it usable all day, every day, and comes available in a range of colors.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Air Filters - Developing smart air filters for personal use can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the air pollution control industry.
2. Wearable Technology for Air Pollution - Creating wearable technology for air pollution protection can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the technology and healthcare industries.
3. Compact Air Purification System - Inventing a compact air purification system that can provide clean air on-the-go can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the travel and hospitality industry.
Industry Implications
1. Air Pollution Control - The air pollution control industry can benefit from smart anti-pollution masks like Maasc that provide continuous fresh and filtered air supply.
2. Technology - The technology industry can benefit from developing wearable technology for air pollution protection such as smart anti-pollution masks like Maasc.
3. Travel & Hospitality - The travel and hospitality industry can benefit from using compact air purification systems like Maasc that can provide clean air to guests while on-the-go.
