The kind of air quality you write home about.
The WHO estimates that a staggering 9 out of 10 people breathe polluted air. Natalia Mykhaylova’s company, WeavAir, presents a solution to this troubling issue. WeaveAir is able to detect, correct and prevent air contamination through predictive algorithms and advanced sensors. These sensors measure up to 20 different metrics of air pollution, which WeaveAir analyzes in order to create a new standard for both vehicles and commercial buildings. The startup’s innovative technology also stops the spread of infection at an extremely relevant time in the wake of COVID-19, as companies begin returning back to offices.
