Sureveather
Global Nominee
Sureveather received a Global Nomination.
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.
The Surveather Project
The Surveather Project started as part of the NASA Spaceapp
Challange 2016 in Würzburg
and was initialized by Sabrina Höhn,
Robert Leppich and Vincent Truchseß.
What is the idea?
We hope to contribute to an enhanced environment-aware society by giving the users the possibility upload the conditions of their local area and exchange information that does not exist in the ordinary weather forecast.
The Surveather
Application
What
is it for?
The Surveather App is an extended weather-app that shows not
only plain weather data but also environmental data, such as air
pollution, noise pollution and local allergens.
This will be
made possible by collaborative data-gathering done by the users.
At
the moment the application is in an early prototype-state but we're
looking forward to continue the project.
Planned features:
- Overview screen with weather data and pollution state of your current location
- Map view with overlays to show zones with high air or noise pollution and local seasonal allergens(e.g. pollen)
- Summary of general environmental state of your current location
- Calculated predictions of continuing process of global warming
- Open server API to give other developers the opportunity to use raw and calculated data
- Different versions for different user ages (current version
is for kids)
