Modified Project Proposal

Most (~50-60%) health problems originate from a person’s local environment (home, office, etc)
- See Rishi Manchanda’s TED talk
Current health care system is generally ignores issues outside the hospital or clinic
Many issues with the local environment are simple to identify, straight forward to address
Many people are not aware of risk factors in the environment

Carry sensors for gaseous and airborne matter
Couple sensor data with location data
Relay data to via phone to cloud
Alert user upon spikes in local risk factors
Build maps of temporal and spatial risk factors around the user’s location and paths
Form factor: wrist or belt attachment

Ventilation filters to your office wear down and start spewing unfiltered air from outside
- This problem is generally not noticeable until routine maintenance sees the filters
- With the sensor suite, you would notice right away
You adopt a furry pet.
- With the sensor, you may notice a detrimental increase in dandruff and dust, prompting you to buy an air purifier
- Without the sensor, you may feel shortness of breath and slight allergic responses a few months later
