CanAirIO
What is it?

CanAirIO is a scientific project that creates a citizen network to measure air quality using low-cost sensors and mobile technology. The data collected is displayed on a constantly updated map, driving initiatives to improve air quality. Developed to improve the measurement and management of air quality in Bogotá, this project uses new technologies and citizen participation to collect and analyze environmental data, contributing to public health and environmental sustainability.

What problems does it solve?

CanAirIO improves the collection and analysis of air quality data, providing accurate and up-to-date information that allows citizens and authorities to take effective measures to improve the environment.

How does the tool work?

Mobile app for air quality data visualization. Sensor technology for pollutant measurement. Community engagement for environmental monitoring. Data sharing for public awareness.

Open standards

Utilizes Python, Java, and C++ to provide a robust and versatile development environment. Integrates applications on Android, facilitating access and interaction with mobile users. Manages and analyzes sensor data, ensuring efficient and accurate processing. Adopts open standards to maximize interoperability and code reuse. Employs open-source technologies, promoting transparency and community collaboration in the tool's continuous development.
