Coverd utilizes various sensors to track your mask-wearing time, mask touching frequency, and proximity to others. Using these data points, Coverd generates an overall mask health score shown on the app to let you monitor your mask's usability. When the score reaches a certain threshold, a notification will inform you that it's time to change the filter. This way, you'll always know when to take action and stay Coverd.
