Clima Sign

Global Nominee

Clima Sign received a Global Nomination.

THE CHALLENGE: Aircheck
Earth

Develop an app or platform to crowd-source information for comparing changes in environmental factors, such as temperature, relative humidity, air pollution, with occurrence of symptoms of allergies and respiratory diseases. Create tools for public entry and grading of symptoms, including but not limited to cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, sneezing, nasal obstruction, itchy eyes; and geographic mapping of symptom frequency and intensity. Create a platform for comparison of symptom map with NASA provided data, with visualization options for web and/or smart phone.

Explanation

Creating a revolutionary connected watch that will be able, not only to precise the climate change but as well the physical conditions for a person, thus to identify his health state regarding its susceptibility to catch a worldwide epidemic disease (such as H1N1 )

  • Designing a public tool that facilitates the classification of respiratory symptoms depending on their frequency.
  • Producing a map for classification of these symptoms and for localization of infected persons and compare the results with the worldwild repartition of the concentration of particles,using NASA databases.
  • Thus it will serve as a mean to evaluate the efficiency of our usual means of prevention against respiratory diseases to the entire population.

Simply it can make science fiction true...
