Air quality is a growing problem for cities around the world. Improving it starts with effective measurement which is where technology innovators Opensense come in. With support from Imperial College’s Enterprise Lab they developed a high-tech sticker on a mobile phone that work as digital air quality sensor.
Opensense’s vision is to democratise sensing. The global environmental monitoring market is estimated to reach $19.56bn by 2021. Our vision is to enable ultra-cheap chemical sensing on mobile devices. This enables plug-and-play measurements for organisations and ordinary people interested in air pollution, water quality, food freshness, biohazards and many other chemical sensing applications. 
Black bears are amazing. With a sense of smell 2,500 times stronger than humans, they can sniff out a source of food 18 miles away, This makes them perfect to represent an equally jaw-dropping advance in air quality technology, and turn a bright idea into a successful business and a powerful catalyst for cleaner air.
