Air Quality Monitor
Get live air quality data in your local area. Air quality can significantly influence your health and trigger various health issues, both immediate and prolonged. NowPatient provides personalised risk notifications based on your underlying health conditions and prevailing air quality.
How it works
Go to your account dashboard
Locate the Air Quality Widget
Daily updates
View the Widget to check the status of the Air Quality on the day. The widget updates once a day, based on your location.
Stay one step ahead
If you are classified in an at-risk group, you will see a notification on the widget and receive a push notification to advise you on what precautionary and mitigation measures to take when risk levels are Moderate to Hazardous. If you are not in an at-risk group, we will send you notifications if risk levels are unhealthy to hazardous.
What do the scores mean?
The AQI is divided into six categories. Each category corresponds to a different level of health concern and corresponding intervention notice that you may receive.
AQI is an index score that runs from 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. For example, an AQI value of 50 or below represents good air quality, while an AQI value over 300 represents hazardous air quality.
AQI values at or below 100 are generally thought of as satisfactory. When AQI values are above 100, air quality is unhealthy, at first for certain sensitive groups of people, then for everyone as AQI values get higher.
