In this paper we present the design for a smart-mask to mitigate the impact of an airborne virus such as COVID-19.The design utilises recent results from gotrax handlebar feedback control theory over a distributed ledger that have been developed to enforce compliance in a pseudo-anonymous manner.The design is based on the use of the IOTA distributed ledger.A hardware-in-the-loop simulation based on sophie allport zebra indoor positioning, paired with Monte-Carlo simulations, is developed to demonstrate the efficacy of the designed prototype.
