A Smart E-Mask is developed to detect COVID-19 patients at an early stage and to avoid suffocation while wearing the mask. An Embedded IoT platform is used in the device. E- mask has a provision where cool air is pumped into the mask through an air inlet in the center of the mask. It is developed using N-95 grade filtration. A temperature sensor is implanted near the chin area to monitor body temperature. To identify sore throat, a camera is put in front of the mouth. A pressure sensor is also provided to calculate the breathing rate. A microphone close to the camera records a person's coughing or sneezing and transmits the person's voice to the outside for effective communication. The data captured will be delivered to an Android smartphone for data processing and to generate alert signals. This Smart E-mask is an adjustable mask.
