The escalating concerns of air pollution and its detrimental effects on individuals with respiratory and cardiovascular conditions necessitate innovative solutions. This paper introduces the "Smart Air Quality Checker," an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system tailored for patients suffering from asthma and heart-related ailments. The system integrates a suite of sensors to monitor environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and concentrations of harmful gases like CO₂, NH₃, and NO₂. Additionally, it tracks vital physiological metrics, including heart rate and oxygen saturation (SpO₂), ensuring comprehensive health surveillance. The architecture employs microcontrollers like ESP32 to facilitate real-time data transmission to cloud platforms, enabling both patients and healthcare providers to access and analyze the information remotely. Mobile applications and web interfaces offer user-friendly dashboards, presenting data trends and issuing alerts when readings surpass predefined thresholds. Such proactive notifications empower timely interventions, potentially averting severe health episodes. By harmonizing environmental monitoring with physiological assessments, the Smart Air Quality Checker serves as a pivotal tool in personalized healthcare. It not only aids in the early detection of potential health risks but also promotes informed decision-making for both patients and clinicians. This system exemplifies the fusion of technology and healthcare, aiming to enhance the quality of life for individuals vulnerable to environmental pollutants. Air pollution is a leading contributor to the global burden of disease, particularly exacerbating chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and causing severe complications in cardiovascular patients. These vulnerable groups require not just generalized air quality information, but highly personalized, real-time, and context-aware alerts to make informed decisions about their health and environment. The Smart Air Quality Checker is an innovative, AI- and IoT-driven device engineered to serve this precise need by delivering real-time, predictive, and personalized air quality monitoring and health risk assessment. The device employs a suite of environmental sensors including PM2.5, PM10, CO2, NO2, O3, temperature, and humidity detectors to continuously monitor the ambient air. The system is integrated with edge computing for low-latency data processing and cloud infrastructure for secure data storage, analytics, and remote access. The processed data is then analyzed using machine learning models, which not only determine the Air Quality Index (AQI) but also predict potential health risks by correlating pollution levels with pre-existing health conditions, historical trends, and patient profiles. For end users, the system provides a mobile application and wearable integration with smartwatches or fitness bands to deliver instant alerts, visual risk indicators, and daily exposure summaries. The app includes features like medication and inhaler reminders, activity suggestions, emergency contact integration, and location-based health recommendations. A voice-assist feature is embedded to make the system more accessible for visually impaired or elderly user.
KEYWORDS
Air pollution has emerged as a critical health threat in modern society, especially for vulnerable groups such as individuals suffering from asthma, chronic respiratory conditions, and heart-related diseases. Continuous exposure to elevated levels of particulate matter, toxic gases, and other airborne pollutants can severely impact their health, often leading to emergency situations. The Smart Air Quality Checker developed in this project addresses this urgent need for personalized and real-time environmental monitoring. This system successfully combines low-cost air quality sensors, an ESP32-based microcontroller, wireless communication modules, and a user-friendly alert mechanism to provide accurate, real-time tracking of pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, CO, NO₂, and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. The data collected is processed to compute the Air Quality Index (AQI), which is then used to evaluate the level of health risk for the user. When pollutant levels cross predefined safety thresholds, the system immediately notifies the user through local (buzzers, LEDs, displays) and remote (mobile app, cloud dashboard) alerts. Through this project, we have demonstrated that accessible technology can be harnessed effectively to protect and improve the quality of life for individuals at risk due to poor air quality. The Smart Air Quality Checker represents a step toward proactive healthcare and environmental responsibility, contributing to both personal well-being and public health awareness.
