AirAble

🌟 Inspiration

Air pollution is an invisible threat impacting billions every day 🌫️. We wanted to build something that empowers people — especially those with health conditions — to make smarter, safer choices. That’s how AirAble was born: to turn complex air data into clear, personalized health insights. 🌍🫁

💡 What it does

AirAble is an AI-powered environmental health assistant 🤖💨. It provides:

• Real-time AQI data 📡
• Personalized health tips based on user profile 🧠
• Cleanest route suggestions 🗺️
• Alerts for high pollution or allergy risks 🚨 All wrapped in a clean, intuitive interface 🎨📱.

🛠️ How we built it

We used:

• OpenWeatherMap API for real-time AQI and weather data
• TomTom API for clean route suggestions
• Python (backend) for logic and health analysis
• Streamlit / React Native for the front end
• Firebase for user data and authentication

🧱 Challenges we ran into

• Handling inconsistent AQI data from various regions 🌍
• Integrating real-time maps with pollution overlays
• Balancing personalization with simplicity in the UI

🏆 Accomplishments we're proud of

• Built a working prototype with live air and health tracking
• Integrated multi-API data for a real-time experience
• Designed a user-friendly interface with accessibility in mind

📚 What we learned

• How to work with geospatial and environmental APIs
• Importance of UX in health-focused apps
• Handling real-time data and edge cases with dynamic responses

🚀 What’s next for AirAble

• Add allergy-specific alerts and weather-triggered notifications
• Implement machine learning for behavior prediction
• Launch on mobile stores and gather real-world feedback
• Partner with health orgs to expand impact 🌱
