As every year, spring arrives, and with it, its traditional procession of allergies of all kinds. It is in this context that the Orleans startup Lify Air launches Live Pollen, a mobile application (iOS, Android) capable of detecting the amount of pollen in the air.
Sensors financed by municipalities
To do this, the startup uses innovative sensors placed in strategic places that locally measure the amount of pollen in the air in real time. The collected data is then analyzed by an artificial intelligence to determine the type of pollen present in the air. The data is then sent to the Live Pollen app.
152 sensors of this type are currently deployed in France. “The idea is to cover the entire national territory so that Live Pollen users can access this pollen information wherever they are. We are expanding this network with the cities that finance these sensors, because they have become aware of this public health problem and they want to offer their inhabitants access to this information that will change the situation day by day”, says Jérôme Richard.
