RURALTHINGS

Indoor Monitoring System | Pilot in Fundão and Pinhel



OUR MISSION

About the Project

Our research aims to explore remote, rural locales nestled within mountainous regions, specifically in Cova da Beira, Fundão municipality, and Pinhel municipality, Guarda district.

The project aspires to establish a sustainable system that not only fosters but also informs governance decisions, thereby effectively enhancing the quality of life, health, and overall well-being within these areas.

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in such rural and secluded areas holds promise in monitoring and predicting potential environmental and climatic hazards, including the detection of hazardous levels of toxic gases in the atmosphere.

Moreover, the systematic monitoring of air quality and other natural resources serves to safeguard and conserve the environment and its inherent resources, thereby augmenting the environmental and scenic value of these territories.
