AirDeveloppa helps users find local businesses with clean indoor air. It is an air quality ecosystem (IoT+Blockchain+Air Quality).
Our solution provides businesses such as gyms, cafes, restaurants, coworking spaces and hospitals with an air quality monitoring device and air purifier. Businesses can clean the air at their venues and send real-time air quality data to our server.
By providing a mobile phone app, people that care about air quality can find businesses with clean air and choose to spend money in those venues because of this information.
Furthermore, to guarantee the trust of the system, users can verify that the venues are being fair (not placing the sensor on top of the air purifier or box) by scanning a QR code on the device and answering some questions.
In return, they will get money in the form of Bitcoin using the Lightning Network. If a business gets a positive check from a customer, they get reputation points, further improving their chances of patrons visiting their premises.

What fundamental problem does your product solve?
Air quality is slowly becoming as important as water quality. Recent studies have shed light on the dangers of constant exposure to PM2.5.
We believe that health-conscious individuals will evaluate where to spend their time and money depending on air quality.
Also, businesses that care about air quality and have already purchased air purifying equipment, don’t have an effective way to advertise their air quality to their clients. We provide the bridge that connects both parties.
