Healthy Spaces. Healthy People.

An open-source, proof-of-concept device that lets people monitor the air quality of the rooms they live and work in.

Healthy Spaces project data card: an exploded blueprint of the device showing top enclosure, display module, airflow vent, sensor PCB, microcontroller, and base assembly — Healthy Spaces: an open-source device that monitors a room’s environmental quality.

Most of us spend the majority of our lives indoors, but we rarely know what we’re actually breathing. Healthy Spaces is a proof-of-concept device, released under an open-source license, that monitors the environmental quality of a room (a bedroom, an office, a classroom) and makes that invisible data visible.

It’s built around an Adafruit PM2.5 air quality sensor and an Arduino MKR board, housed in a 3D-printed enclosure designed to be printed and assembled by anyone who wants one.

Healthy spaces make for healthy people. The first step is simply being able to see the air you’re in.
