AIIMS To Provide Wearable Sensors To Monitor Air Pollution

AIIMS, New Delhi will offer wearable sensors to school-going asthmatic children in the federal capital which will always monitor their exposure to air pollution, both indoor and outdoor, to facilitate a research in the situation. Assistant professor at the department Dr. Karan Madan said these pollution detectors are lightweight, simple to strap around the waist and will generate comprehensive information in their air pollution exposure.

As a component of the research, being conducted in Sri Ramachandra University at Chennai, University of Edinburgh, Imperial College of London, and collaboration with IIT-Delhi, these sensors will be provided to the kids for a week. “These high-quality sensors will give us information on how much a child is subjected to air pollution while they’re in college, traveling, or are at home”, Dr. Madan Said. These connectors will help the team get real time pollution exposure stats which will be uploaded to the central data server for further analysis.

As per AIIMS Director Dr. Randeep Guleria, these wearable detectors will be handed over to kids for a week and later can be given for a longer duration. In Dr. Madan words, this initiative will help the

team study the varying effects of indoor & outdoor pollution on different being. The enrollment and screening of children for this project have already started.
