Feeling powerless, impotent and loosing dignity while doing what you love, specially for nurses and other healthcare professionals is the main inspiration for developing HeroVision.
The Problem
In a sample of 32 healthcare professionals, 81,3% finds PPE not comfortable, refering bruises and scratches on the face by wearing glasses and masks.Â
Most of them wear this PPE 12 or more hours at work (53,12%). 75% of healthcare professionals recognize that PPE's could be improved.
The Solution
​
HeroVision is a full-face mask, transparent, comfortable and easy to disinfect. All around the mask is a gel border to provide a comfort attachment to the face and velcro straps to be adjustable for every worker. It allows healthcare workers to feel the safety and comfort that they desire and allows patients to recognize who is taking care of them.
