5 Ways Air Quality Data is Helping the Healthcare
Sector Innovate

• Air pollution is one of the major causes of
  global warming. It is not only destroying the
  delicate balance of our ecosystem but is also
  affecting human health. Polluted air is also one
  of the leading causes of premature deaths of
  human beings. Collectively, strokes, heart
  attacks, diabetes, and respiratory disorders
  induced by air pollution have taken more than six
  million lives annually. This number is greater
  than the total number of deaths caused by
  Tuberculosis, AIDS, and Malaria.
• Particulate Matter(PM) from emissions contributes
  significantly to the toxicity of air pollution.
  It is a type of particle with a small diameter
  that enters the respiratory system through
  inhalation and causes respiratory and
  cardiovascular disorders, central nervous system,
  or reproductive dysfunctions, and cancer. PM2.5
  has a diameter so minuscule (less than 2.5
  microns) that it can get into the lungs and
  bloodstream. They can infinitesimally multiply
  the risk of heart disease, respiratory problems,
  and lung cancer. Asthma, lung inflammation,
  bronchial symptoms, and impaired lung functions
  result from excessive ozone, nitrogen dioxide,
  and sulfur dioxide.

Keeping Track Of Air Quality

• Monitoring Air quality helps healthcare workers
  and professionals assess pollution levels to
  check for compliance with ambient air quality
  regulations. Robust monitoring prevents extreme
  occurrences or spikes in polluted air levels.
  Notifying people beforehand can help those
  suffering from respiratory illnesses to stay
  alerted and have ample time to take action.
  Addressing the variations in pollution levels
  worldwide is seamless with real-time air quality
  monitoring in place. It establishes air quality
  criteria to safeguard human health and the
  environment. Ambees Global Air Pollution is the
  most accurate environmental intelligence
  provider. It works on proprietary algorithms,
  built from the ground up, and uses a network of
  thousands of on-ground sensors and hundreds of
  geostationary satellites.
• Ambee App offers real-time air quality monitoring
  services that cover various parameters from PM2.5
  to SO2. By employing additional facilities to
  receive notifications during a spike in pollutant
  levels, users can prevent themselves from
  exposure to contaminants.

How can the Healthcare sector use Air Quality
Data?

• Healthcare providers, doctors, and other digital
  health monitoring companies can integrate air
  quality data to assess patients illnesses
  accurately. They can plan for variations in air
  quality-related conditions by targeting,
  investing, enhancing respiratory treatments in
  these high-risk locations. With air quality data,
  ensuring adequate treatment for high-risk
  patients and determining what level of air
  quality harms patients is simplified. Forecast
  air quality data helps identify regions
  experiencing change and alert patients in
  high-risk locations ahead of time. For insurers,
  environmental intelligence helps design newer,
  innovative ways to assess health risks and offer
  personalized premiums. Digital therapeutics
  company, Wellthy supports insurers, doctors, and
  professionals to analyze the patients health
  status with ambient environmental data such as
  air quality. Health risk assessment becomes
  accurate and supports customization of
  patient-specific treatment plans or policies.

Assisting Pharma Companies Personalize Marketing
Efforts

• Pharma and medical companies depend on precise
  air quality data provided by environmental
  intelligence companies for the research and trial
  phases of medicine development. Marketers also
  use air quality data to build a wholesome
  marketing campaign for different regions. Such
  targeted marketing practices have 60 percent more
  penetration into the market than one-for-all
  advertisements. Invesp reports that 56 percent of
  online consumers become loyal to the company when
  they get personalized recommendations.
  Pharmaceutical companies can build on this aspect
  by using environmental intelligence from Ambee to
  conduct research and tailor their marketing
  campaigns. Integrating environmental data into
  their development and marketing processes has
  helped professionals and experts curate better
  products, tackle illnesses, and experience
  revenue growth.

Supporting Innovations in Digital Health
Monitoring

• Digital Health monitoring and healthcare tech
  companies, for example, make reports on asthma
  attacks using connected or smart inhalers and
  have begun to use sensors and mobile apps to
  gather multiple layers of meaningful, actionable
  data. Indian pharmaceutical giant Lupin in
  collaboration with Aptar pharma, has integrated
  Ambees air quality data into its smart inhaler,
  Adhero. The smart device assists patients with
  chronic respiratory diseases. Adhero helps track
  the patients MDI (Metered Dose Inhaler) usage
  and facilitates improved adherence to their
  prescribed therapy. The phone application linked
  to the smart inhaler sends reminders, provides
  contextual health alerts based on Air Quality
  levels at the patients current location, and has
  visual analytics. Additionally, doctors and
  researchers take air quality into account
  throughout the treatment, research, and
  development stages to ensure their clinical
  trials remain accurate and effective. There is a
  well-recognized link between air pollution and
  health.

Personalizing Patients Care  

• In collaboration with Ambee, healthcare companies
  can keep patients health in check by providing
  them relevant and accurate air quality data to
  live healthier lives. Especially for those
  patients who are sensitive and allergic to
  specific allergens or pollutants. They can now be
  aware of the air they breathe and how it disrupts
  their health, treatment, and progress. Juli. Co,
  a digital health monitoring startup, found that
  prevention by monitoring is the best way to keep
  an individuals health intact. The startup has
  integrated air quality data into its platform to
  alert its patients and provide personalized
  recommendations beforehand. Julis platform
  supports healthcare professionals in making
  informed judgments based on patient behavior and
  ambient air quality. Customized alerts and
  notifications significantly impact ones health
  and well-being. Furthermore, patients gain a
  better grasp of their situation and prevent
  unnecessarily hurting their health with
  experimental treatment and opt for the product
  that best suits their criteria.

Maintaining Patients Health with Air Quality
Intelligence

• As air quality worsens with increasing global
  pollution levels, healthcare workers and
  professionals must stay ahead of the curve. As
  prevention trumps cure, integrating air quality
  data to different processes, from marketing to
  monitoring patient health, has become necessary.
  Healthcare providers digital health enterprises
  can positively safeguard their patients with
  location-specific and hourly updated air quality
  data. With this integration, digital health firms
  and pharmaceutical businesses can create
