# Nose-Only Wearable Purifiers The 'Nosy' Minimalist Breathing Device Filters Over 90% of Air By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-05-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-breathing-device References: [thegadgetflow](https://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/minimalistic-breathing-device/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nosy/nosy-a-new-way-to-breathe?ref=68fi2c&utm_source=GadgetFlow&utm_campaign=GadgetFlow) The 'Nosy' minimalist breathing device is a reimagined wearable air purifier that works in a nearly noninvasive manner to filter out pollutants in urban areas. The wearable air purifier has a nose-only design that can be comfortably fitted over the nose to filter more than 90% of the air the wearer breathes, while also keeping them far more comfortable compared to full-sized masks. The device will deliver up to 10 hours of air filtration per charge to ensure it will last throughout an entire day or, in many instances, multiple days depending on the amount of time spent outdoors. The 'Nosy' minimalist breathing device is part of the increased demand for personal air purification and filtration devices as consumers seek to enhance their well-being. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.0/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personal Air Purification:** Opportunity to develop innovative wearable air purifier solutions that offer comfort and effective filtration for urban residents. - **Nose-only Design:** Opportunity to create minimalist breathing devices with a focus on nose-only design to provide a more comfortable alternative to full-sized masks. - **Long-lasting Air Filtration:** Opportunity to develop wearable air purifiers with longer battery life to provide extended protection for individuals spending significant time outdoors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Health & Wellness:** Health and wellness companies can explore the development of personalized air purification solutions to meet the growing demand for cleaner air. - **Fashion & Accessories:** Fashion and accessories companies can incorporate nose-only designs into their product lines to offer stylish and comfortable options for air filtration. - **Outdoor Gear:** Outdoor gear manufacturers can integrate long-lasting air filtration technology into their products to provide enhanced respiratory protection for outdoor enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Allergy-Alleviating Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/respiray-wear-a.md) - [Neck-Worn Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-air-purifier-concept.md) - [Air-Blowing Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-mask.md) - [Targeted Portable Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hale-personal-air-purifier.md) - [High-Tech Air-Purifying Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpurifying-mask.md) - [Battery-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreo-macro-pro.md) - [Air-Purifying Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyzon-zone-headphones.md) - [Customizable Style Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rpur-fiit.md) - [Subtle Air-Sterilizing Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelro-dr-airpick.md)
