One-line solution summary:

This solution proposes to detect the possibility of diseases in an environment using a multiparameter approach such as air or water quality.

Pitch your solution.

The problem this solution proposes to solve is that of disease detection and spread. Delay in detection of any disease usually aids it's spread especially if it is an highly communicable disease. This is as a result of not knowing how the disease is being transmitted earlier enough.

A multi-parameter based environmental quality analyser can help to improve the rate of detection and also give clues as to mitigating the spread of any disease. With an embedded prediction algorithm in such system, there would be early warning signs pointing to the possibility of a pandemic or an epidemic.

This solution if scaled to a global level would improve the quality of life of humans and increase our preparedness whenever there is any outbreak of a novel disease.

What specific problem are you solving?

The major problem that this project proposes to solve is that of pandemic management. For example, with the outbreak of COVID 19 pandemic, the world was caught unawares and did not know how to handle the situation. This lead to reduction in the quality of life, loss of employment, economic constriction and social activities ban.

Most diseases are transmitted via the environment. Monitoring the qualities of some environmental parameters such as water quality and air quality can give great insight for the possibility of an outbreak and the environmental conditions for transmission.
