HelloMask

Transparent masks for safer, more human healthcare communication

HelloMask is a groundbreaking transparent mask that ensures medical safety, breathability, and a more human approach to communication in healthcare and beyond.

By making facial expressions visible, HelloMask enhances both spoken and non-verbal interactions in key situations:

  • When doctors need to reassure anxious patients.
  • As nurses provide care to those who are ill or at the end of life.
  • Among medical teams working under pressure.
  • Between parents and their hospitalized children.
  • For caregivers supporting elderly individuals in distress.
  • In dental offices, where patient comfort is crucial.
  • For the deaf and hard of hearing, who rely on lip-reading.

HelloMask helps bridge the emotional gap caused by traditional masks, reducing anxiety and fostering clearer, more empathetic interactions.

Certified in Europe,  its patented technology combines transparency, breathability, and protection against pathogens, offering a safe and effective alternative to standard medical masks.

Designed with sustainability in mind, HelloMask also minimizes environmental impact, reinforcing a commitment to responsible innovation in healthcare.

Now fully developed, the project has been successfully transferred to continue its mission of improving communication and patient care on a global scale.
