Inspiration
Allergies are a huge issue yet we cannot anticipate whether we should go out or stay in due to these health conditions. All of our immune systems vary and react to allergens in different ways. We want to help people evaluate whether or not it is better to be active and go out for the day or stay inside in a simple and easy way. Hence this device can help people quickly and efficiently as they don't have to do their own separate research to see if their allergens will be severe for that specific day and time.
What it does
Our project utilizes Arduino's temperature-humidity sensor which determines the temperature and humidity of the user's location. Then, by uploading this data to a UI, this cross references the data with the known allergens in the area and determines the severity score. All you have to do is press the button on the Arduino that determines the severity of the allergen using the data and a formula is generated so that users can see as a number to better inform themselves on whether or not it is safe to go outside for today.
How we built it
We built our project by using Arduino to collect temperature and humidity data. We used C++ to code for the Arduino and also used Python to cross reference the datasets and to build the UI that lets the user input their zip code, and press the button that tells them the temperature and humidity of the area.
What's next for ClimaCare
To continue to address health issues caused by our surrounding environment in a simple and effective way. We aim to build devices that can be used in everyday life to support and encourage users to live healthier lives.
