Air pollution has become one of the biggest health challenges of our time, especially in urban areas where millions are exposed daily to poor air quality. While governments and apps provide city-level air quality updates, most people don’t know the exact conditions in their immediate surroundings—on the way to class, while jogging, or even inside closed rooms.
My idea is to create a Wearable Air Quality Band that continuously monitors the air around the user and provides real-time alerts. The band would include miniaturized sensors that detect harmful pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds. Using Bluetooth, the band would connect to a smartphone app that visualizes air quality trends and suggests safe times and locations for outdoor activity.
A key feature is personalized health alerts: for example, the band can notify asthma patients to use a mask or inhaler before conditions worsen. For athletes or joggers, it can recommend the best times of day for outdoor workouts. The data can also be anonymously shared with local communities to crowdsource pollution maps.
Benefits:
Empowers individuals with real-time environmental awareness.
Protects vulnerable groups like children, elderly, and asthma patients.
Promotes healthier lifestyle choices.
Contributes to larger community data on pollution hotspots.
"Lead a healtheir lifestyle with one band"
