This study will develop a device for the containment of respiratory aerosols generated by patients with respiratory infections that can be deployed in a variety of settings, including in military applications, using an iterative user-centered design approach. Testing of the devices involve the use of motion capture to assess posture and movement, surveys and focus groups to assess user perceptions about usability and applications for use, and aerosol containment to assess reduction in airborne concentrations and surface contamination outside the device.
