OpenAQ is excited to announce our partnership with Smart Sense, a Croatian company that provides continuous indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring systems worldwide.
Smart Sense offers cutting-edge, high-performance IoT monitoring solutions. They provide a variety of air quality and energy monitoring products for both individual usage and large-scale industries. Their customizable sensors and networks allow for flexibility and adaptivity to changes in the environment, enabling users to obtain and communicate real-time data wherever they are.
Smart Sense provides air monitoring support to many local governments. Several of these governments were interested in sharing their data more broadly, so Smart Sense sought out ways to do that and found OpenAQ. Smart Sense is now proudly listed among the esteemed data partners sharing data on the OpenAQ Platform. Cities and municipalities currently sharing their data include Križevci, Topusko, Lipik, Trnava, and Gornji Mihaljevec. This partnership between Smart Sense and OpenAQ empowers community members and environmental professionals to make informed decisions for a healthier world.
Smart Sense offers Sensees solutions for both indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring to provide real-time data on pollutant levels, ensuring both public and private spaces can maintain a healthy environment.
Hana Matanović, Smart Sense CEO, shared her perspective on the partnership with OpenAQ:
“Our partnership with OpenAQ aims to make air quality data more accessible, ensuring that everyone, from policymakers to the general public, has the information they need to make informed decisions. Our aim is to contribute to a global dialogue on air quality, facilitating the sharing of best practices and solutions across borders. This collaboration helps us reach a wider audience and enhance our impact on global environmental health.”
Matanović further reflects on the “wins” that bring about the most happiness and satisfaction in Smart Sense: “A significant ‘win’ for us is when our data leads to actionable insights, such as reducing exposure to pollutants or optimizing energy use, which directly impacts community health and reduces the environmental footprint.” Through collaboration with OpenAQ, air quality advocates are provided an opportunity to address ongoing issues head-on, backed by easily accessible data.
