a smart health connected scarf that offers a little fresh air

[ad_1]

French start-up Wair has developed a smart health connected scarf that protects its user from air pollution. This first anti-pollution scarf smart health connected allows both to protect itself from the pollutants present in the air, but also to be alerted on the quality of the air. After successfully completing a crowfunding campaign, the smart health connected scarf will be on sale in the spring of 2017.

Urban pollution is a real scourge that is often overlooked. The World Health Organization (WHO) has sounded the alarm and published overwhelming figures on this major public health problem. According to the organization, air pollution would be responsible for 7 million premature deaths a year. This invisible killer is responsible for lung, heart, vascular and cancer diseases.

An innovative smart health connected anti-pollution scarf

It is the French start-up Wair who has developed this smart health connected scarf which does not compromise either with efficiency or with aesthetics. As we already mentioned, the ergonomic scarf developed by the Lyon company can filter all particles larger than 0.1 micrometer. It thus filters 99% of the polluting gases but also the pollens and bacteria present in the air. Note however that it is necessary to regularly replace the filter system to ensure effective protection.

This scarf not only hides a powerful filtration system of the air. The fabric is also smart health connected and offers, through an application, to know the pollution rate where you are. An alert system warns you when the pollution rate exceeds a certain threshold and it is better to wear your headscarf on your nose. The application also allows you to find out and find the least polluted route. A sensor on the scarf also indicates by its color if an air pollution threshold has been exceeded and it is therefore better to wear the headscarf.

A scarf smart health connected for the 92% who breathe a polluted air

The Wair smart health connected scarf has been developed and designed for the 92% of the world's population living in a polluted environment. Ideal for cyclists who ride in the middle of traffic, but it is also for pedestrians as well as sportsmen or users of a two-wheeler in major cities. However, the company does not say whether the protection system also works for the tear gas used by the police during certain events …

The Wair smart health connected scarf is also a fashion accessory. The filtration system, available in 3 sizes, is cleverly concealed in the fabric and the company will offer fabrics of various colors and prints made of eco-certified materials.

Wair will be available in the spring

In order to finance the development and marketing of its smart health connected headscarf, the Lyon start-up has successfully passed through a crowdfunding system to raise funds. The first models will be marketed in the spring of 2017 and are already in presale on the online store of the company.

The Wair smart health connected scarf will be available in different models, colors and fabrics at prices between 65 and 110 euros depending on the model.
