The goal of the EnviroSensor project is to create a platform to explore methods for crowd sourcing community air quality data. We are experimenting with open source sensor hardware and tools for interactive data visualization. Our team is currently working to tailor this device to equip children with information about the air pollution around them to make informed decisions that may help them prevent asthma attacks.

The Respira Sano Program is a PCORI (Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute) funded asthma comparative effectiveness research project that aims to improve asthma control among Latino children ages six to seventeen in Imperial County, California. Working in partnership with academic/research institute (San Diego State University and the Institute for Behavioral and Community Health) with over 30 years of experience conducting rigorous public health research, a community clinic (Clínicas de Salud del Pueblo, Inc.) with excellent reach and credibility in the partner community, a community-based organization (Comité Cívico del Valle) with extensive experience in promoting asthma control, and a division of the state health department (California Breathing) responsible for asthma control efforts statewide.

The Air Quality Flag Program alerts schools and organizations to the local air quality forecast and helps them to take actions to protect people’s health, including those with asthma.

NYU Pediatric Pulmonology Division specialists treat a wide variety of respiratory problems. We offer expertise in Asthma, Cystic fibrosis, upper airway disorders, chronic cough, and much more. We also run a state of the art pulmonary function lab and bronchoscopy services.

We synthesize relevant science for use in policy-focused conversations that we convene, engaging multiple stakeholders.

We recently started a waiver program with government funding on educating the patients and their families about asthma and its control. Our website is not developed yet and we do not have a specific name for this waiver project.
