EnDis
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.
Why EnDis?
EnDis (Environmental disease) – Web application for collection and analysis of data about people’s health, depending on the state of the environment.
What is the idea?
Of course, for developing this platform we need relevant, regularly updated and systematic data about the symptoms of respiratory diseases, which we decided to get directly from the people using EnDis web applications. The main feature of the project is that it performs two important functions at the same time: collection of statistics for the required dependencies, as well as providing useful and interesting information for every user. With the help of a fictional character named EnDis people from all over the world will be able to monitor the state of their health in entertaining and informative form, and to fill up the database of symptoms at the same time.
How it works?
On the main page of the site you are met by EnDis and enter your name and location. In the next window you can choose the system of organs that you are concerned about, and EnDis will offer variety of symptoms related to it. Thus, any person will be able to get information about his possible disease, even if he knows nothing about medicine and cannot get professional medical advice.
What about statistics?
Clicking on the Earth, you will be able to see graphs of atmospheric parameters and symptom frequency from time in different parts of the planet. Studying these dependences, you can determine whether you are weather-sensitive or not and monitor your health more carefully at certain times of the year, which will help you to become more healthy and happy!
