King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology granted “Mawhiba” student Ranim Talal Al-Waseedi patent number “4444” for her invention of a multi-layered nose and mouth mask, which protects patients suffering from chest allergies and asthma from external irritants in the surrounding environment, reduces the incidence of asthma attacks, and provides them with the freedom to move and leave the house without fear of bad weather or pollutants.
The multi-layer mask filters the air from external pollutants through a multi-layer filter, each layer filters a specific type such as humidity, smoke, dust, and chemical vapors. The invention also allows the patient to take the dose he needs of bronchodilators while wearing the mask and without having to take it off.
The filtration level of the multi-layered mask reaches 0.3 microns, which filters out all particles larger than that. The young inventor is waiting to conduct several experiments to measure the efficiency of the invention, and the availability of a laboratory to implement the experimental model of the mask. She is currently seeking to market her invention and search for a party to adopt it.
I thought of a way that asthma patients could move around freely and not be isolated no matter how polluted the atmosphere was.”
The story of this invention began when Ranim Al-Wasidi was in the third grade of middle school, and after one of her friends told her that all of her family members stay at home during the rain and do not open the windows because her mother suffers from asthma, as the atmosphere during and after the rain may cause her to have a severe asthma attack that may lead to suffocation, Ranim thought of a way that would enable asthma patients to move freely and not be isolated no matter how polluted the atmosphere is.
Ranim Al-Wasidi participated with her innovation in the 2011 Creativity Olympiad organized by the Ministry of Education and the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba). She was not lucky enough to reach the final round, so she returned to participate in the 2012 Olympiad after developing the innovation and creating prototypes. She qualified for the final round and won fifth place. In the same year, she submitted the patent through a lawyer.
Al-Wasidi participated with the Saudi team in the International Exhibition for Innovation and Technology INNOVA2012, in which the Kingdom won several awards, including the silver medal won by Ranim Al-Wasidi in the field of medicine, science and health.
