Maskson.org – Scaling Improvised Full-Face Respirators for Clinicians at Risk

Hey everyone, Interaction Designer who is working on the project here. My day job is working at Google but this is a really rewarding volunteer gig. The folks behind this are humble and top notch.

The functioning masks use FDA-approved surgical guide resin, not an extrusion-based material which might exhibit problematic porosity. We're only pursuing materials that already have FDA clearance, and working directly with hospitals and industry partners to scale.

This is not a DIY, at-home effort. The adapters we are using are printed in an industrial facility and are currently being fielded by many MDs. We will have over 400 out in hospitals next week and have a goal to put out 50k before this is over. No pictures I can share yet since we don't have release forms but please feel free to AMA. I speak for myself, not my employer or the larger MasksOn org.
