AirAware

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.

AirAware is an application that crowdsources data about pollution and respiratory illnesses from people, organizations as well as from various online sources(medical forums, google trends etc.). This data is then aggregated and processed to provide user-friendly visualizations which raise awareness about pollution and it's effects on our health. The data is also mined in order to obtain valuable insights and provide useful clues to researchers and decision makers.
