Infra-Red Imaging to Detect Respirator Leak in Healthcare Workers During Fit-Testing Clinic.

Journal: IEEE open journal of engineering in medicine and biology
Published Date: Nov 6, 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study addressed the problem of objectively detecting leaks in P2 respirators at point of use, an essential component for healthcare workers' protection. To achieve this, we explored the use of infra-red (IR) imaging combined with machine learning algorithms on the thermal gradient across the respirator during inhalation.
