This Health Technology Update newsletter describes patient helmets, also known as “helmet masks,” and their potential use in COVID-19 infection control. These helmets are designed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission from infected patients to health care providers and other patients. The newsletter provides a background to the technology, target populations, cost and availability, current clinical evidence, and potential implications for future research. This technology was identified through the Canada's Drug Agency Horizon Scanning Service as a topic of potential interest to health care decision-makers in Canada.
