A One Health Approach
Breathe Well
Summary
We chose A One Health Approach challenge and we build a tool that helps individuals with respiratory health problems in a active and innovative way.
How We Addressed This Challenge
It aims to help people with respiratory diseases in the face of high levels of air pollution. Through innovative, interactive technology, using NASA data and the interdisciplinarity between health, earth sciences and technology, the application offers a warning of the invisible dangerous - air pollution - and allows its users inform each other through specific menus.
How We Developed This Project
We chose this challenge to help people with respiratory diseases in the face of high levels of air pollution. We use NASA data, and interdisciplinary knowledge between health, earth sciences and technology.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
The data we used was important to understand the need to be concerned with this problem and develop a solution to help people who are affected by it. According to data found on the NASA website, air quality is determined by the quantities and types of polluting gases and particles found in the air that breathe. Exposure to outdoor air pollution is responsible for about 4 million premature deaths annually, with about another 3-4 million resulting from exposure to indoor air pollution; that is, air pollution is responsible for about 1 in 9 deaths worldwide
