Decision Support Algorithm Based on the Concentrations of Air Pollutants Visualization to act for a better quality of life

What is the practice about? The practice is about transforming raw environmental data collected by sensors into a format that is easily understood by the average user. This is achieved by implementing a decision support algorithm in a solution named “Environmental Sensing to Act for a Better Quality of Life: Smart Health”. The solution considers three parameters: PM10, PM2.5, and NO2 concentrations, and it assigns one of four risk levels to each. The algorithm also calculates the Air Quality Index (AQI) for each parameter. When was it developed and by whom? This solution has been developed by BEIA Consult International during the research activities of ITEA Establish project https://itea4.org/project/establish.html What is the intended audience / target group? The intended audience is the general public, specifically individuals who are interested in self-monitoring and adapting to their environment based on the quality of the air. How should the practice be used / how does it function? The practice functions by collecting raw environmental data from sensors and transforming it into an easy-to-understand format through a decision support algorithm. The algorithm calculates the AQI for each parameter, then assigns a risk level. The results are presented in a front-end interface where users can see the measurements and the suggestions provided by the decision support system. Who might be interested in learning about or wish to use / apply it? Individuals who are concerned about air quality and its impact on their health may be interested in this practice. This could include the general public, environmental scientists, health professionals, and policy makers. What are the conditions for using / applying it (e.g., free, license agreement, etc.)? Conditions of using : – HW/ sensing equipment acquisition + monthly SaaS for data processing and visualization – client’s sensing equipment + calibration [one time fee] + adaptor to BEIA cloud platform [one time fee] + monthly SaaS for data processing and visualization
