Airaware

Our team is composed of four determinate men who are based in Ticino, each with a different skill set : Fabian who has competences in the field of Industrial Design and Software Engineering, Francesco with competences in Management and Business Administration, Alessandro our informatics engineer and last but not the least Yang, who has strong informatics and management skills.

Our goal is to create a product that gives people more information about the environment where they live and our main focus is on air pollution, a worldwide issue that nowadays represents a big treat mostly for China, India and some parts of Europe: according to Berkeley Earth, a climate research organization, air pollution is killing about 4,400 people in China every single day.

Be aware about the air your kids are breathing

Via GPS and Bluetooth, Airaware allows parents to be informed about the level of PM 2.5/10 their children are being exposed to by displaying info on a dedicated app such as pm levels, the most polluted places and cleanest spots in the city.
