Résumé
It has become clear during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that the standard opaque medical masks pose a challenge for effective communication in healthcare settings, especially for deaf and hard of hearing people and other individuals who rely on visual cues or lip/speech reading. The availability of a transparent version of a medical mask would facilitate communication of these individuals.

Description
It has become clear during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that the standard opaque medical masks pose a challenge for effective communication in healthcare settings, especially for deaf and hard of hearing people and other individuals who rely on visual cues or lip/speech reading. The availability of a transparent version of a medical mask would facilitate communication of these individuals.
Description (French)
Il est devenu évident au cours de la pandémie de COVID-19 (causée par le virus du SRAS-CoV-2) que les masques médicaux opaques courants posent un problème pour une communication efficace. Ce problème est manifeste dans les établissements de soins de santé, en particulier pour les personnes sourdes et malentendantes et les autres personnes qui dépendent de repères visuels ou de la lecture labiale. L'accès à une version transparente de masques médicaux faciliterait la communication avec ces personnes.
Expected Results
Grow Canadian companies through direct funding to support early stage, pre-commercial research and development, late stage prototypes, and to accelerate commercialization.
Expected Results (French)
Faire croître les sociétés canadiennes au moyen de financement direct versé pour soutenir la recherche-développement (R-D) précommerciale à un stade précoce et les prototypes à un stade avancé et en accélérer la commercialisation.
