Today we saw some tech products for parents, health monitors, and new inventions for the smart home.1 / 10Photograph: Amy LombardMost people who have dealt with temporary or chronic exposure to air pollution are familiar with lightweight 3M 95 face masks. A Portland, Oregon-based startup called AO has built what it thinks is an even better solution: A plastic mask called the Atmos that goes over your mouth and nose and, with the help of fans, air filters, and pressure sensors, purifies the air you’re breathing and creates a tighter seal around your face. Of course, the Atmos works with a mobile app too, so you can be alerted to changes in air quality. It will cost $350 when it ships in July.

But the company says it hopes to make the technology more accessible over time. —Lauren Goode
