AI to create personalised health responses to air pollution

AI to create personalised health responses to air pollution Professor Fan Chung, Professor Christopher Pain and Claire Dilliway from Imperial College London, walk us through the exciting use of artificial intelligence to create personalised health responses to air pollution and invite you to get involved. 99% of the world’s population breathe indoor and outdoor air which fails to meet the WHO guideline limits for air pollution, taking approximately 7 million lives prematurely per year. (1) The impact of air quality on health is, therefore, a matter of concern for us all. Climate change brings yet more challenges, causing weather patterns to change, leading to more frequent extreme weather events that can increase air pollution, such as heatwaves, wildfires and drought. (2) National governments seek to address these problems, but this process will take time.
