Air health check

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

Our app is meant to help people who have some kind of allergic disease (rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma etc.) related with the quality of air. The app will get information about the concentration of allergens and air pollutants and about the weather condition and will inform the user about the problems that he may occur into.
The user will be allowed to provide a feedback in order to help the app to improve the forecasts of his personal risks.
