Augusta entrepreneurs build a better protective mask for health care, first responders

Trying to help local health care workers with a shortage of protective equipment, enterprising minds at the Clubhou.se used feedback to construct a better mask that they are now seeking to get approved by the FDA.

The plastic mask that Eric Parker held in his hands is a combination of ingenuity and a little desperation.

“To me this is the best demonstration of how entrepreneurship is supposed to work,” Parker, the president of the Clubhou.se technology incubator, said as he stood in its office inside the Georgia Cyber Center.
