In France, nearly a third of adults suffer from pollen allergies, which can lead to symptoms such as burning eyes, eye irritation and a runny nose.
Measure the amount of pollen in the air in real time
L’application LifyAiruses smart sensors to measure the amount of pollen in the air in real time. These sensors are installed in strategic locations to detect plants that emit pollen.
The data collected by the sensors is then analyzed by artificial intelligence to determine the type of pollen present in the air. This technology allows a real-time measurement of the amount of surrounding pollen, thus offering real prevention people with allergies (source 1).
An urban prevention service
The implementation of this technology is particularly relevant in densely populated urban areas where sources the pollen can be multiple and difficult to identify.
For example, in the city of Metz, where the app was set up, three sensors were installed to measure the amount of pollen in the air. The collected data is then used to inform app users of current pollen levels in their area. Before the arrival of this application, pollen measurements were often carried out at thedepartment-wide and with a certain delay.
The app offers a instant fix, allowing allergy sufferers to take preventative action as soon as pollen levels are high. This can help allergy sufferers reduce their exposure to pollen and avoid uncomfortable symptoms.
