Prototype: “From Waste
Streams to Data Streams”
Team #IAmData created a prototype to
deploy a set of sensors on public
wastewater ways that send data on
neighborhood health issues that can
be reported by the sensors. Data is
collected by health department and
anonymized. Local for-profit pharmacies can identify areas that require
higher levels of medication and provide
discounted rates at the store closest to
Brenda. Email & receipts distribute
coupons, and neighbors share the discount with others.

people who do really fantastic work in
the community, and they recognize it
can’t be done necessarily just through
their organization alone.”

point of view everyone on the team
