The My Air, My Health Challenge is seeking designs for sensors that can be easily worn or carried. Up to four finalists will each receive $15,000 and be invited to develop working prototypes. One finalist will receive $100,000 for the most effective solution. Says EPA's Glenn Paulson, "This competition provides an opportunity to tap into the ingenuity of Americans to build technology to improve health. In the future, these types of personalized devices will enable people to make better informed choices about their own health and their environment.”
EPA and NIEHS will host a webinar about the competition June 19 at 4 p.m. EDT. Learn more about that here.
