Poor air quality significantly impacts respiratory health, especially for vulnerable groups like asthmatics. While current air quality apps provide general data, they often lack personalized, actionable alerts that could help prevent health crises. A mobile solution that offers real-time, location-specific warnings could bridge this critical gap.
The core concept involves an app that continuously monitors air pollution levels using GPS or user-specified locations. When pollutant concentrations cross personalized thresholds—adjustable based on individual sensitivity—the app would send proactive alerts along with practical advice like "Close windows" or "Avoid outdoor exercise." Users could also track how air quality correlates with their symptoms over time, helping identify personal triggers.
Key features might include:
This could help several groups:
The app could generate revenue through a freemium model—with basic alerts free and advanced features like multi-location tracking as paid options—while maintaining trust by keeping health data private and advertisement minimal.
Unlike current apps that mainly display general air quality indices, this approach would focus on:
Testing might begin with MVP features in areas with robust air monitoring, then expand to include predictive modeling for regions with sparse data coverage.
