Emhlabeni wonke, imaski manje iyingxenye yempilo yansuku zonke, futhi abantu kumele bazigqoke ezindaweni zomphakathi, kufaka phakathi ezibhedlela nakwezinye izikhungo zezokwelapha.
Yize ubukhulu bokugqoka obunconyiwe kuncike ezicini ezimbalwa, isikhungo semithi esekwe e-US kanye ne-World Health Organisation yashicilela izincomo zazo kulokhu, okunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamaski ngamahora amane - ayisithupha.
Inkampani yaseBrithani I-Insignia Technologies isungule ilebula ehlakaniphile eklanyelwe ukuqinisekisa imaski ephephile yokuzijwayeza. Le ilebula ibekwe kwimaski evikelayo ishintsha umbala ukuze ulethe isinali lapho impilo yeshalofu yemaski yobuso elahlekile ifika ekugcineni, noma lapho imajini esetshenziswayo idinga ukushintshwa.
Uma kungekho imithetho ekhona eqinisekisa ukushintshwa kwaphakade kwama-masks, isinqumo se-Insibinia sihlose ukudala ukuzethemba okwengeziwe kwabasebenzi basesibhedlela kanye neziguli, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukuphela kwawo wonke umuntu kuhlala okubaluleke kakhulu.
Ama-technologies afanayo "Smart" ama-Insignignes, aklanywe emuva ngo-2012, asetshenziswa emkhakheni wokudla kanye nophuzo.
Ngemuva kokuqala kobhubhane, iqembu lososayensi abangu-Insiginal babuyisa ubuchwepheshe bokulebula ukuze lisetshenziswe kumaski wobuso.
UDkt Graham Skinner, Umphathi Wezokuthuthukiswa Komkhiqizo kuThrownign Technologies, uthi:
Sishintshile amalebula ethu ngendlela yokuthi ahambelane nesikhathi sokunconywa sesikhathi esichazwe ngokusetshenziswa kahle kwemaski. Ilebula itholakala ngaphandle kwemaski futhi ishintsha umbala, okukhombisa ukuthi ukuphela kwesikhathi esinconyiwe sekufinyelelwe, okulula ukusebenzisa isikhumbuzo esibonakalayo nophawu lokuzethemba.
Kanye nokuzivumelanisa nombala wayo oguqukayo wamalebula ukuze usetshenziswe kuma-masks acial, ama-isemign futhi aguqulwe kabusha inguqulo yelebula enzelwe ukusetshenziswa kwezinye izindawo zezokwelapha kanye nezempilo. Kumathuluzi amaningi wezokwelapha kanye namadivayisi, njenge-endoscopes edinga ukushintshwa ngemuva kwesikhathi esithile, ubuchwepheshe buyasiza ukulawula le nkathi, ukuvumela abasebenzi ukuthi bakubone, bahlole futhi babuyise ithuluzi lezokwelapha noma idivaysi ngokufanele. Ilebula inganikeza ukusetshenziswa okuphephile kwamadivayisi wezokwelapha, isiza ngasikhathi sinye ivikele ukutheleleka.
