The uHoo Virus Index is a patent-pending technology as the first real-time assessment of virus survival of its kind that's based on air quality. By analyzing air quality data, the risk of viruses surviving in homes and workplaces can be addressed.
A collection of research from governments, universities and international medical and environmental journals can be found in the recently published white paper from uHoo called Using Indoor Air Quality Data to Create the uHoo Virus Index, which examines the relation between air quality and COVID-19 death rates. As uHoo co-founder and CEO Dustin Jefferson S. Onghanseng says, "Research shows a strong correlation between poor air quality and higher COVID-19 death rates. In addition, long-term exposure to pollutants weakens immune systems and exacerbates other health conditions."
