My idea for a mask-detecting neural network was to start with a face-detecting object-detection model, which was trained to identify faces and their bounding boxes in a variety of scenes.

Integrating CRISPR technology into a wearable mask enables rapid and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2.

SAFR 3.0 also includes a new mask detection dashboard that enables customers to anonymously track mask usage rates and view and filter by age, gender, location, and time.

Face-mask recognition has arrived—for better or worse New algorithms can police whether people are complying with public health guidance. The practice raises familiar questions about data privacy.

Face coverings are already proven to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 — now scientists say they have invented a mask that can detect respiratory viruses in the air.
