Why
Clean air is a health issue
Air pollution is increasing with population growth, and the pandemic made the importance of good indoor air even clearer. AppAir connects a physical air-quality device with an app that makes the data understandable.
Process
From research to a physical product
- Research — desk research, netnography, interviews, benchmark.
- Analysis — grouping data, affinity mapping.
- Ideation — feature inventory, card sorting, information architecture.
- Design — wireframes, flowcharts, physical product design.
- Test — usability testing, final app and web UI.
