Systems and methods for automated respirator

A system comprising:

• a negative pressure reusable respirator configured to be worn by a wearer and to cover at least a mouth and a nose of the wearer to form a sealed space formed by a face of the wearer and the negative pressure reusable respirator, wherein the negative pressure reusable respirator comprises at least one valve;
• a first sensor configured to generate first sensor data indicative of a gas characteristic in a sealed space formed by a face of the wearer and the negative pressure reusable respirator;
• a second sensor configured to generate second sensor data indicative of a position of the at least one valve of the negative pressure reusable respirator;
• at least one processor configured to:
• determine that the negative pressure reusable respirator is being worn by the wearer;
• determine, based on the first sensor data indicative of a gas characteristic in the sealed space formed by a face of the wearer and the negative pressure reusable respirator and the second sensor data indicative of the position of the at least one valve, the performance of a respirator seal check by the wearer;
• perform one or more actions in response to determining that the respirator is being worn by the wearer and the wearer has not performed the respirator seal check;
• and
• alter the one or more actions in response to determining that the negative pressure reusable respirator is being worn by the wearer and the wearer has performed the respirator seal check.
