Summary of our project findings and future development

Air Quality Data exploration

Geospatial exploration, poverty and respiratory problems

Finding, analysing data, and new open data sources.

Research around Respiratory Problems and Pollution Data

Introduction to the Anaeko SBRI Project

Clean Air for Healthcare

A use case had been identified were Anaeko could provide informative dashboards in order to determine and understand the relationship between air quality and health conditions. 

There is a wealth of data within healthcare industries from patient, research or physician data and there is no doubt that harnessing this data will lead to new technologies, innovation and improved patient care.

55% of the population live in urban environments and these environments play an essential role in human health and wellbeing. Air pollution contains air particulate matter, PM2.5, that can stay in the air for long periods of time and be inhaled deep into the lungs. Pollution within urban areas can have an affect on asthma sufferers and "Around two thirds of people with asthma tell us poor air quality makes their asthma worse, putting them at risk of an asthma attack."
