Envio
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.
Envio is a crowd-sourcing, reddit like mobile, web application that can be used to keep track of local, global, and health issues that are either trending or posted recently. This mobile web app will also be accompanied by a heat map capable of displaying different intensities depending on the number of people being affected by a certain disease or pollution within a certain area. Likewise, with the upvote/downvote system implimented into the app, this will allow government officials the ability to take preemptive measures to reduce the spread of one disease or polluation quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, from a user point of view, being aware of certain elements can allow for safer travels, avoiding certain locations and overall allowing for the betterment of society. Users will be able to post about a current event, along with a picture of their current setting if they choose to, symptoms they seem to be experiencing, which can expand to further aspects such as natural disasters causing changes in weather patterns, or viruses and poisons that make their way into agriculture and livestock.
