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.
