Monitoring Device

UrHealth - Personal Environmental Monitor for Health

How it Works

Urhealth Monitoring Device will scan your environment
for extreme unhealthy conditions and provide you with
personalized alerts based on your exposure.

Sensors

The device detects air quality, heat, humidity, noise and ultraviolet radiation through inbuilt sensors.

Data and Maps

Data from the device is sent to mobile phone where customized alerts are generated based on user’s exposure. The data collected will also be used for generating pollution and heat maps.

Artificial Intelligence

AI and machine learning algorithm to provide contextual warnings (regarding allergies and physical discomfort, etc) to users even before they are exposed to similar conditions in the future.

Knowledge Management

Reports and maps on daily, weekly and monthly exposure will be provided to users to help them improve their physical health.

Why Monitor Health?

The nature of the urban environment is complex, and individuals cannot use limited information from few fixed-point sensors to take informed actions. In the recent past, the extent of environmental degradation has started affecting personal health of citizens. The UrHealth monitoring device has the ability to provide information regarding a person’s immediate environment and suggest adaptive measures one can take to minimize the impact of unfavourable environmental conditions. Unlike fixed sensors, it provides contextual location-specific information to its users. In addition, the warning and advisories not indicate the levels of exposure but goes a step further and inform its users possible consequences and what they can do to improve their physical health.

Benefits to Individuals

Is the current immediate environment conducive for people to work, play or go about their business as usual?
How long I have been exposed to unfavourable conditions and what I can do to take care of me and my loved ones?
When do I need to start taking anti-allergen medication?
When and where can I go for a walk (or take my children for a stroll) within my neighbourhood?
Contextual alerts to take preventive actions in time will be provided using Artificial Intelligence.

Benefits to organizations

Information on the status of environment can help researchers study the problem over space and in time.
Maps can help policymakers to take strategic actions over specific areas.

Device Features

Motion

It tracks Motion of the individuals as they move from one place to another, to provide extent of exposure.

Noise

Continuous exposure to noise pollution is likely to lead to loss of “more than three healthy life-years,” in the course of a lifetime.

Temperature

In 2019 alone more than 60% of India’s urban population was exposed to severe heat stress and related impacts.

Heat Index

It indicates what a human will feel like if exposed to certain temperature and humidity.

Ultrafine Particles

Particles which are less than 1 microns in size (e.g. diesel fumes) and they are likely to cause respiratory diseases which is the leading cause of death and disability in the world.

Air Quality Index

Measures the quality of air in your environment. According to WHO about 65 million people suffer from COPD and 3 million die from it each year, making it the third leading cause of death worldwide.

Relative Humidity

It is the amount of water vapour present in air. Low or high humidity can lead varied problems including dry skin, itchiness, excessive sweating, heat strokes and respiratory infections.

Ultraviolet Rays

Depending on the intensity and extent of exposure, ultraviolet radiation causes erythema, sunburn, damage to the eyes, alteration of the immune system of the skin and chemical hypersensitivity.

Innovative elements that have been incorporated within the product include:

Lightweight and very compact (weight is 99 grams only, it is currently the smallest device available in the market).
Long battery life (over 10 days for 5-minute readings).
Easy to carry (high-performance snap hooks which can be attached to clothing/ bags, clip-on to attach to belt/ loop).
Easy to place in a stationary position at home/workplace (magnets for attaching onto any metallic surface).
Incorporates machine learning for early detection and user-specific warning.
Ability to link and alert caregivers and other family members.
Transfer of data to the cloud for remote monitoring. Special services for monitoring multiple sensors to Government, NGOs, INGOs and corporate customers.
