Chinese researchers have developed a wearable in a mask format that detects CoVid and influenza viruses in the air around you.  Ion gel-gated sensors, mounted on the facemark, sensitively measure the presence of viral proteins that they contact.  They produce a signal that is amplified and wirelessly transmitted to a smartphone to warn the mask wearer.  If such detector masks can be commercially produced, you may someday be warned in real time to beat a hasty exit from a space that is polluted with potential disease.
