British Design Fund’s Post

HelloFace is a UK-based startup focused on inclusivity and sustainability. The Earthshot Prize nominated company designs and manufactures certified, inclusive, reusable and recyclable RPE and medical devices. Offering unique transparency that allows visibility of a mask user's entire face, the team is aiming to solve the problem of hidden communication. Something which can negatively impact on individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, with opaque masks leading to up to 98% communication loss. It is a problem that also affects anyone working within a noisy environment that requires the use of respiratory protection, such as healthcare and industry settings. Co-founder Dean Ezekiel was inspired with the idea by the experiences of his wife Aimee, who is partially deaf, and wears a mask during site visits as part of her work as an interior designer. Currently being trialled by an NHS trust, the masks will also be showcased at the RCN (Royal College of Nursing) conference on climate change.
