Start-up company Sendinaden designed this breathing monitor face mask that is 3D-printed and made from smart materials. Using this technology, this face mask can track and record the wearer's breathing pattern data and display it either through a companion app on a smart phone, or even just on the mask itself. This health and fitness application was designed by Sendinaden because of how important [healthy and consistent breathing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathwork-coach) is to an individual's overall wellbeing. The face mask is also installed with an [air filter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zyon-smart-motorcycle-helmet), which means this technology can be especially useful for those living in more polluted environments.
