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.
This app uses the NASA GIBS and several nations' environmental protection agencies data to provide data about the air quality of a given area. The user inputs their health condition and relevant data will be highlighted. The user view information on carbon monoxide, particle pollution, sulfur dioxide, ozone and relative humidity. Each of these have data for causes, effects and solutions. Some areas may also take user input. For now it only prompts the user to send an email, however a database will be set up.
