| Summary: | As the world battle against climate change, the risk of health issues from environmental hazards
continues to rise. In Singapore, rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfalls, and haze pollution
remains a growing concern, posing as a health risk especially to the more vulnerable in society.
Furthermore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, citizens needed a means to detect and defend
against airborne infectious diseases. Hence, there is a growing need for citizens to proactively
safeguard themselves from the Singapore’s evolving environmental hazards.
This project aims to develop a portable environmental monitoring device that powered by ambient
energy sources, without the need for charging. This device will focus on monitor key
environmental variables relevant to both indoor and outdoor settings in Singapore, providing users
with real-time alerts for potential hazards.
The report outlines the considerations taken from each stage of the project’s progressions,
encompassing research, ideation, design, implementation, and tests conducted, exploring
technologies from three main domains: electronics, 3D modeling and software programming. It
offers insights into the challenges encountered, and the solutions devised in creating a reliable,
portable, self-sustaining environmental monitoring device. |
