Wearable device for Air Quality monitoring with disease prediction system

Today, air pollution exists to be a major concern around the world. Industrial emissions, greenhouse gases, automobile emissions, incinerations, etc., increase the air pollutants and release toxic substances into the air. This in turn affects human beings and other living beings with respiratory ailments and climatic changes on a large scale. According to WHO seven million people die every year due to airborne diseases. Also,14 states in India have been identified with an average of 2.5 PM (particulate matter), which is 17 times higher than that of the recommended WHO limit. This paper delivers a solution to monitor, track, detect and indicate an individual about the air quality index of the surrounding (AQI), amount of particulate matter (PM), and also the individual’s heart rate, breathing rate, and temperature. The solution is a compact, smart and user-friendly wrist device that is also capable of predicting the respiratory diseases that the individual may be affected with. The real-time data can be computed with cloud assistance and monitored through a mobile application by the user or remotely. This device will also serve as a great tool for monitoring a patient’s respiratory and environmental health by them or their medical support.
