A Context-Aware Application to Monitor the Air Quality

The widespread use of mobile devices allows developers to reach and inform more users than ever before through apps. This work presents the design and development of an application that allows anyone to monitor air quality levels, including pollen and pollution. The developed application retrieves official data and uses elements of context awareness to customize the user experience based on the user’s sensitivity to specific particles. During the development process, special attention will be paid to interfaces and data presentation based on user characteristics and preferences. The project will focus on the Italian territory. Due to the richness in terms of biodiversity of the country, similar solutions exist only at the regional level without taking into account the user’s sensibility. Our contribution is to show an application that join general purpose with context-awareness aspects.
