Click and germ-free: the mask that cleans itself

Dear Sir or Madam,

You're probably familiar with this: a mouth/nose protection must either be replaced regularly or washed – not so a newly developed mask from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the company Osmotex from Switzerland. It disinfects itself. Find out how it does this and how it protects better than many other masks in our interview.

Stay healthy!

Artificial intelligences (AI) are able to help medical professionals detect diseases. This is based on medical data records from which the AI can draw conclusions about diseases. These conclusions are most accurate when the extraction of the data sets is directly linked to the processing.
