Objectives
We are constantly exposed to people who may be carrying unknown bacteria and viruses. This product could give people more peace of mind to know what kind of illness they have been exposed to.
Additionally air quality is important for everyone's long-term health. It is important to know what kind of particles your lungs and heart are exposed to, in order to maintain your health.
Background
Who:
People who work in a chemical lab, doctors, anyone concerned about catching a common disease
Where:
Areas with a known outbreak of disease or a potential change of air quality
Methodology
The consumer will wear an accessory that has a particle detector embedded into it that can detect particles such as bacteria, viruses, carcinogens, and if the air quality is poor.
The particle detector will be able to notify the wearer when they are in the presence of a significant concentration of a known particle that can pose a risk to their health.
Expected Results
Bring peace of mind to customers about what illnesses they have been exposed to
Knowing the exposure to disease will allow for more effective treatment of diseases
Allow people to passively monitor their health without relying on others participating in the system
