Summary of our project findings and future development Summaries of our sensors find there’s a strong repeating pattern as I just mentioned every evening in winter as we turn our heating on. There are always localised events although there can be strong agreement which is reflected in the general weather or the pollution forecast. There’s approximately one serious pollution event every 10 days or so.There’s a 20 percent correlation between […]

Air Quality Data exploration It’s tempting to attribute the issues to purely location there is a relationship between where people live and pollution or is there a relationship that we can demonstrate and this is where our investigation takes a turn and we start looking at air quality.   On this slide you can see for example the kind of air quality services that are publicly available today, and the approach is very similar […]

Geospatial exploration, poverty and respiratory problems One observation that you’re seeing here is a geospatial exploration tool that we built on top of our data hub and it is created to help illustrate the relationship between health deprivation and pollution in a geospatial way.  The screenshot that I selected from that application is an illustration of the divide in Belfast a divide that occurs in most cities and you can see there is a divide between red and […]

Finding, analysing data, and new open data sources. With research done we had a plan, we had next steps and we hit our second hiccup, data. Our sponsors included in their support package data. The data that we received was unique, interesting and it had the potential to be really powerful but it was instead quite limited. This is a reflection on how difficult it is for government […]

Research around Respiratory Problems and Pollution Data What did we discover when we started looking at this area looking at the problem? so these numbers that you can see in front of you are really for Northern Ireland because this was a Northern Ireland focused project but you can put this into perspective if you remember that for example England has a population of around 30 times NorthernIreland. I don’t […]

Introduction to the Anaeko SBRI Project Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the webinar, Creating Clean Air for Healthcare: an SBRI Story, my name is Lucy Wakeford i’m the head of online at Digital Leaders and it’s my pleasure to be chairing this session.  Before I introduce our presenter I’d firstly like to recap the topic to give anyone who might be running late a chance to join this webinar will be a […]
