- Description
- We will operate AirRater in Tasmania for the duration of 2019. We will use the data to conduct epidemiological and pollen-based research. We will implement a collaborative project with Tas DoH to design and evaluate an AirRater-based respiratory health surveillance system for Tasmania. We will conduct qualitative evaluations of AirRater as a clinical tool as well as metagenomic and immunological studies designed to identify the key aeroallergens impacting Tasmanians.

- Description
- The AirRaterSmoke app has been developed by a joint Menzies-Biological Sciences team at the University of Tasmania. We have developed a customised version of the AirRater system entitled AirRaterSmoke. This provides communities with access to data on current smoke episodes; provides a tool for individuals to report their health symptoms and; a method to report their perception of smoke impacts. This will be provided to Department of Health Western Australia to disseminate to the public for use during planned burns and bushfires. It will provide the department with much needed information on how such activities impact on communities and the publics health.

- Description
- 'Fireboss' is a mobile phone application developed under the Tasmanian Bushfire Mitigation Grants Program 2016 to provide information about bushfire preparation and prevention, and real-time and future risk of bushfires. The app was tested by over 150 users drawn from TFS staff and volunteer brigades, DPFEM, Parks and Wildlife Service and selected community stakeholders across Tasmania. The response from testers was overwhelmingly positive with > 80% of respondents to a post-testing evaluation survey agreeing the app was useful, made it easy to find fire information, and improved awareness of fire danger. The current project will complete the necessary steps to prepare the app for public release. There are four key objectives of this project: (1) Develop operating guidelines, (2) Determine running and support costs and resources, (3) Upgrade and prepare the app for public release, and (4) Establish a framework for ongoing community and stakeholder engagement.
