Devices, Systems and Methods for Facilitating Facemask Compliance

A method for improving juvenile compliance with inhaled medication administration, the method comprising:

• providing a facemask comprising:
• a body, the body including an opening at an end thereof with a skin contact perimeter arranged around the opening;
• at least three switches in a spaced-apart relationship at the skin contact perimeter;
• and
• at least one output device in electrical communication with the switches, the at least one output device configured to output an audible stimulus and/or a visual stimulus;
• receiving at least a portion of a child's face in the opening;
• outputting an audible stimulus and/or a visual stimulus from the at least one output device in response to concurrent actuation of all switches indicating that the skin contact perimeter is sealingly engaged with the child's face;
• and
• halting the audible stimulus and/or the visual stimulus from the at least one output device when at least one of the switches is not actuated indicating that at least a portion of the skin contact perimeter is not sealingly engaged with the child's face.

A method for improving juvenile compliance with inhaled medication administration, the method comprising:

• providing a facemask comprising:
• a facemask body including an opening configured to receive at least a portion of a child's face and a skin contact perimeter extending along a periphery of the opening, the skin contact perimeter configured to sealingly engage with the child's face;
• at least three electrical contacts, each electrical contact disposed at a respective region of the skin contact perimeter, each electrical contact configured to sense when the respective region of the skin contact perimeter is sealingly engaged with the child's face;
• and
• a control circuit in or on the facemask body, the control circuit configured to receive a signal from each electrical contact when the skin contact perimeter is sealingly engaged with a child's face;
• and
• a transmitter in or on the facemask, the transmitter configured to transmit a wireless signal to an outside device in response to receiving a concurrent signal from all of the electrical contacts;
• wherein the facemask has a themed appearance;
• receiving at least a portion of a child's face in the opening;
• transmitting a wireless signal from the transmitter to the outside device in response to concurrent actuation of all of the electrical contacts indicating that the skin contact perimeter is sealingly engaged with the child's face;
• and
• initiating a game on the outside device in response to the transmitter transmitting the wireless signal to the outside device, the game having a theme that corresponds to the theme of the facemask.
