#81: In this episode, Frauke sits down with Healthcare Design’s Break Through 2022 competition finalists Erica Parker, Pulkit Jain, and Chris Brause to discuss their A.R.O.M.A. Project. They discuss the enormous potential AI has to support the health care space through olfactory concepts. The team shares what need they saw in the healthcare space, reveal how they came up with the concept, and explain the different ways the design could be implemented. They discuss the enormous possibilities for environmental monitoring devices that can serve the many underrepresented communities, including those of color and people living with anosmia. In fact, Pulkit shares a heartbreaking story from "Cancer Alley" that hits far too close to home. Imagine a public device that can monitor the air and capture data about all kinds of things like disease (think COVID), pollution, allergens, and harmful chemicals. Or a personal device that can monitor changes in your personal space which warns you about gas leaks, smoke, or believe it or not an intruder. Even a hand-held device that can monitor changes in your personal scent profile, helping you detect diseases like cancer through changes in your body odor. This episode will leave you inspired to see so much potential that you'll spread the word to make the project come to life very soon.Learn more about the A.R.O.M.A. Project ⁠here⁠.
