Just One Giant Lab (JOGL)

Join us with Hunter Futo of Materiael and watch a demonstration of their AR mobile app Quipfit, for virtual measurement & fitting for PPE.

<h2>An easier way to predict respirator fit</h2><p>Current fit testing procedures are time and labor intensive -- especially during a crisis. Our mobile AR app Quipfit performs virtual measurement, sizing and fit testing based on the unique geometry of your face. We are conducting a UX pilot within healthcare facilities to seek feedback and explore the potential of this innovative technology.</p>

<p>There are 59 million healthcare workers worldwide; over 70% are women and many are people of color. But historically, PPE has been designed to fit white men. Masks that don&#x27;t fit must be strapped so tightly against the face they cause sores, bruising and dermatitis.</p>

<p>Healthcare facilities tend to prefer disposable masks, but the environmental costs are too great to ignore. Currently 129 billion face masks are discarded every month globally. That&#x27;s over 3 million per minute. Respirators sent to landfills leak pollutants into groundwater and incineration dumps millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We are on a mission to find a better solution.</p>

<h2>Sign up to participate in our testing program</h2>

<p>Join us for a demonstration of our mobile AR application to determine n95 respirator measurement, sizing and virtual fit checking. I<strong>f you&#x27;re an administrator from a healthcare facility or other healthcare practitioner, we&#x27;re looking for your insight and feedback about the problems with fit testing these devices. </strong>You can sign up to participate in a UX pilot for the app and potentially test physical prototypes <a href="https://app.jogl.io/project/212/BasicRespirator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>of the respirators themselves later in the study.</p><p>Please direct all questions to hunter[at]materiael.com</p>
