There is a large intersection between health tech and smart homes at CES in Las Vegas this week. BRYAN TURNER explores the home tech that can keep us healthy.
Now for a device that monitors for hazardous gas at a parts per billion level.
At CES 2020, AerNos is showcasing a nano gas sensor that is targeted at smart home users. Applications for AerNos’s Smart Home gas sensor module range from automating air cleansing in smart air purification units, ventilation and HVAC systems to air quality alerts for consumers from Smart Home products.
AerNos nano gas sensor products utilise a tiny sensor array to detect multiple gases simultaneously to parts per billion (ppb) levels for indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, hazardous gas detection and other e-nose applications. Today, air quality monitoring in the home is limited by performance, size and cost issues of existing gas sensors. AerNos’s game-changing sensors enable customers to address specific Smart Home applications with a single sensor module or product.
Invisible gases in the home, including Ozone, Formaldehyde, Ammonia and VOCs, can cause short-term and long-term health effects. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, for many people the risks to health from indoor air can be greater than outdoor air because indoor air can be more seriously polluted, and people spend 90% of their time inside. More and more Smart Home products are being developed to enable consumers to decrease exposure to indoor pollutants in order to improve health and wellness. This has dramatically increased the demand for small, sensitive, cost-effective multi-gas sensors.
AerNos multi-gas sensors are customisable for specific gases and applications and are available for order. In addition to Ozone and Formaldehyde, AerNos multi-gas sensor capabilities include Ammonia, NO2, and TVOCs.
“We are thrilled to be back at CES, exhibiting and speaking alongside world leaders in Smart Home technology,” says Sundip R. Doshi, founder and CEO of AerNos. “In the coming years Smart Homes are going to have a revolutionary impact on human health and we could not be more proud of the role that we are playing bringing air quality monitoring to Smart Home IoT products and enabling consumers to know what’s in their air.”
AerNos is at CES 2020 at the Sands Expo Booth 42137 in Las Vegas.
